Hence why pop culture enthusiasts latch onto Smith’s dance routine in the movie. The film has all the passion and inspiration of a shareholder’s quarterly report. Which brings us to Morbius, a spectacularly misjudged attempt to reverse-engineer a Spider-Man villain (Jared Leto’s Morbius) into a bloodsucking superhero movie. Since arriving Stateside, the actor’s career has been on two tracks: that of an interesting, often jittery inscrutable presence in indie movies and television series-and the undeniable talent squandered on bland, soulless blockbusters that wish to tap into his comic con clout with genre fans. Perhaps for that reason Smith was ready to move on to Hollywood.

Smith struck a nerve while leading Doctor Who for three series across four years, which included being the main Man in the Blue Box during the show’s 50th anniversary and its explosion in popularity in the U.S. And whereas there was a forlorn romantic quality to Tennant’s Doctor, there was something irresistibly convivial about Smith’s version of the character: he’s the big kid who never grew up, or at least he pretends to be since it hides away the ghosts we only glimpse in moments of solitude. Here was a performer who could slide into the Doctor role as comfortably as all those bowties. Yet one look at how charmingly Smith’s Doctor connected with young Amelia Pond (Caitlin Blackwood) over fishsticks and custard, and most audiences were instantly smitten. Smith also was following the most popular thespian to inhabit the character (at least in the UK) since the show soft-rebooted in 2005: David Tennant. After all, at age 28 he was (and remains) the youngest actor to play the Doctor. As the eleventh actor to play the body-swapping alien in a time-traveling police box, aka the TARDIS, there was some initial skepticism toward Smith taking on the role. In 2010, Smith debuted to much fanfare and trepidation as “the Doctor” in BBC’s long-running sci-fi/fantasy series Doctor Who.
