Shirley Henderson

Sometimes I think that this double-guest star might be my favorite for her unexpectedness...
I first knew her as "Moaning Myrtle," but she has quite a list of credits- just check out her IMDb listing:

David Tennant

Yes, yes, perhaps he should have been first, as this Scotsman is, according to several fans, the BEST Dr Who ever, but since, despite Barty Crouch Jr being a key character, David Tennant only plays him in his true form for a very short time... I thought it was worth waiting.

Barty Crouch, Jr- on trial- not quite as crazed a lunatic as his final scenes...

Roger Lloyd Pack

I first spotted him as, er, the rather "Earthy" character of Owen Newitt in Vicar of Dibley, with Dawn French- a favorite of my whole family. http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/faces/roger_lloydpack.shtml

Here is another guest on both Who and Potter.

Barty Crouch, Sr- and well played- in Harry Potter.

John Lumic- a dying man who becomes the new Cybercontroller on the alternate dimension that takes Mickey, Rose, and Jackie in Dr Who.

Zoe Wanamaker



I first saw this actress playing Susan Harper on My Family (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0257315/), a critically acclaimed Brit-com.  She has guest-starred in both Dr Who and Harry Potter.
Here is her official site link: http://www.zoewanamaker.com/


Publicity Shot (found broadway.com/buzz)


As "the last human being" on Dr Who- multiple appearances, including Rose's first trip with the good doctor!
(The same image appears in several places, and I don't know who to attribute it to!)

Madame Hooch- Multiple Harry Potter Film Appearances-IMDb image; there are plenty if you run a Google Search- and I particularly enjoy the ones of her in goggles, refereeing Quiddich!



What is this thing?

Are you a fan of sci fi? Fantasy?  Dr Who? Harry Potter? British television? 
I am, and i was noticing that several of the actors I enjoyed watching on BBC America have appeared in Dr Who episodes, Harry Potter movies, or both, so I thought it might be fun to figure out how many I could track.  Perhaps eventually there can be suggestions from people out in the internet world or we can run this like "six degrees," where we tie an actor or actress to Dr Who or Harry Potter in as few steps as possible.
It could be fun, right?
If you agree, please, read on!




(Of course, I have no trademark rights to anything, and this is purely a for-fun fanpage, but aren't most of them out there?)
