I've never heard of him at all. From Wiki, he doesn't seem to have acted in very much either. Although it's interesting that he did work on the Pullman dramatisations, alongside Billie Piper.
Ah well - will be interesting to see what he does with the role then. More so, since I can come to it without any previous ideas of what he's like.
I bet the bookies are happy though!

I don't think he even figured on their list, did he?
I had been firmly convinced that, sharp off the back of US election fever and Obama-mania, that they would go with Patterson Joseph. If only for the kudos and extra PR they could squeeze out of "Look - it's the first black Dr. Who!".
They've kind of gone up in my estimation for not jumping on that particular bandwagon.
