Matt Smith: From Doctor Who to Hollywood?

Does Matt Smith plan to quit Doctor Who after his second season?

A source told The Sun newspaper: “Matt plans to quit after the next series. He is eager to try new things and thinks Hollywood beckons.”

But a spokesperson for the BBC insists the star has not made any long-term decisions about his future with the show.

“Matt is filming the Christmas special and then goes on to film the second series,” they said.

“Beyond that, the BBC and Matt won’t speculate on things.”

Christopher Eccleston only lasted as The Doctor for one season, while David Tennant lasted three, along with various specials.

Smith recently finished filming a BBC2 drama about gay writer Christopher Isherwood, due to air in the UK later this year.
