Ncuti Gatw — Ncuti Gatwa was announced as the new lead in the iconic British sci-fi series ‘Doctor Who.’ The Rwanda-born actor, who was raised in Scotland, will be taking over as the regenerating Time Lord from Jodie Whittaker, the first female lead of the show who will be stepping down at the end of the current season.

Ncuti will be the first Black actor to lead the British sci-fi show, but he is technically not the first non-white person to play the doctor. During Jodie’s run on the show, Jo Martin played “Fugitive Doctor” in several episodes.

Ncuti currently stars in Netflix’s high school dramedy ‘Sex Education.’ Playing the loveable Eric Effiong, who is openly gay but from a highly religious family, the star was awarded Best Actor Award at the Scottish BAFTA’s in 2020 as well as a nomination for Best Male Performance in a comedy show at this year’s BAFTA’s

Ncuti is seen here at the Virgin Media British Academy Television Awards held at the Royal Festival Hall in London on May 8, 2022.
