Colin Baker

Colin Baker will always be the bold, brash Sixth Doctor in my mind, but what genuinely impresses me is everything around that role. Plenty of actors ride one famous part forever; Baker instead poured decades into stage work and pantomime across Britain, the unglamorous craft that keeps a performer sharp. He strikes me as a screen face with a true theatre soul. I respect performers who keep showing up, year after year, and his durability across television and the stage earns my quiet admiration.
