David Tennant (born David John McDonald; 18 April 1971) is a Scottish actor known for his roles as the Tenth Doctor in the British television series ''Doctor Who'', Alec Hardy in ''Broadchurch'', Giacomo Casanova in the TV serial ''Casanova'' (2005) and Barty Crouch, Jr. in the film ''Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'' (2005).

==Early life and education==
Tennant was born in Bathgate, West Lothian, to Essdale Helen (née McLeod; now deceased) and The Very Rev. Dr. Alexander McDonald (born 1937). He grew up with his brother Blair and sister Karen〔 in Ralston, Renfrewshire, where his father was the local Church of Scotland Minister and former Moderator.〔 Online edition Oxford University Press December 2008 (subscription or library card required).〕 Tennant's maternal great-grandparents, William and Agnes Blair, were staunch Protestants from County Londonderry, Ulster, the northern province of Ireland, and were among the signatories of the Ulster Covenant in 1912. William Blair was a member of the Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland. Tennant's maternal grandfather, footballer Archie McLeod, met William and Agnes's daughter Nellie while playing for Derry City. McLeod's parents were from the Isle of Mull in the Scottish Highlands and are descended from tenant farmers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Who Do You Think You Are? )〕
At the age of three, Tennant told his parents that he wanted to become an actor because he was a fan of ''Doctor Who'', but they tried to encourage him to aim for more conventional work.〔 He watched almost every ''Doctor Who'' episode for years, and he spoke to Tom Baker at a book-signing event in Glasgow. Tennant says he was "absurdly single-minded" in pursuing an acting career. Tennant was educated at Ralston Primary and Paisley Grammar School. He acted in school productions throughout primary and secondary school.
Tennant's talent at this young age was spotted by Scottish actress Edith MacArthur. After seeing young David's first performance at age 11, she told his parents he would become a successful stage actor. Tennant also attended Saturday classes at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama;〔 at 16, he passed an audition for the Academy, one of their youngest students, and studied there between the ages of 17 and 20, taking his stage name from the Pet Shop Boys frontman Neil Tennant〔Tim Walker ("David Tennant: The good doctor" ), ''The Independent'', 29 March 2008〕 after reading a copy of ''Smash Hits'' magazine because there was another David McDonald already on the books of the Equity union. Tennant has stated that he later had to legally change his name to Tennant in order to meet Screen Actors Guild rules.
