Matthew Robert "Matt" Smith (born 28 October 1982) is an English actor and director. He is best known for his role as the Eleventh Doctor in the BBC sci-fi series ''Doctor Who'', for which he received a BAFTA Award nomination in 2011. Smith initially aspired to be a professional footballer, but spondylolysis forced him out of the sport.〔Smith confirmed the nature of his back injury during an appearance on the UK show ''Top Gear''.〕 After joining the National Youth Theatre and studying Drama and Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia, he became an actor in 2003, performing in plays like ''Murder in the Cathedral'', ''Fresh Kills'', ''The History Boys'', and ''On the Shore of the Wide World'' in London theatres. Extending his repertoire into West End theatre, he has since performed in the stage adaptation of ''Swimming with Sharks'' with Christian Slater, followed a year later by a critically acclaimed performance as Henry in ''That Face''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=That face to watch| Theatre )〕 Before his role in ''Doctor Who'', Smith's first television role came in 2006 as Jim Taylor in the BBC adaptations of Philip Pullman's ''The Ruby in the Smoke'' and ''The Shadow in the North'', while his first major role in television came as Danny in the 2007 BBC series ''Party Animals''. Smith, who was announced as the eleventh incarnation of the Doctor in January 2009, is the youngest person to play the character in the British television series.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Press Office — Network TV Programme Information BBC Weeks 51/52 BBC ONE )〕 He left the series at the end of the 2013 Christmas Day special, "The Time of the Doctor". He portrayed both the physical embodiment and a holographic version of Skynet in 2015's ''Terminator Genisys'' and is expected to return if sequels are made.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Terminator Genisys Matt Smith Character Explained )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Will Terminator Genisys Even Get A Sequel? )〕 ==Early life== Smith was born and raised in Northampton, Northamptonshire, the son of Lynne and David Smith.〔http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/4128049/Late-bets-on-Matt-Smith-as-Doctor-Who-came-from-home-town.html〕 He attended Northampton School for Boys. He had planned to be a professional football player, having played for the youth teams of Northampton Town, Nottingham Forest, and Leicester City. After a serious back injury ruined this career, his drama teacher introduced him to acting by signing him up as the tenth juror in an adaptation of ''Twelve Angry Men'' without his consent. Although he took part in the play, he refused to attend a drama festival for which his teacher had also signed him up, as he saw himself as a football player and did not view acting as socially acceptable. His drama teacher persisted, and eventually persuaded him to join the National Youth Theatre in London. After leaving school, Smith studied drama and creative writing at the University of East Anglia, graduating in 2005.〔〔 His first theatre roles as part of the National Youth Theatre were Thomas Becket in ''Murder in the Cathedral'' and Bassoon in ''The Master and Margarita''. His role in the latter earned him an agent and his first professional jobs, ''Fresh Kills'' and ''On the Shore of the Wide World''. His new professional roles led him to seek an agreement with his university so that he could graduate without attending lectures in his final year. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Matt Smith (actor)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
