Doctor Who goes to Hollywood - Matt Smith reveals his career plans

Matt, the current eleventh incarnation of the Time Lord who is adored by the sci-fi show’s millions of fans, has revealed he is hoping to make his mark in the movies.

“I’m going over to Los Angeles this week to dip my head in the pond,” Matt reveals. “I am going to be having loads of meetings with film people and that sort of stuff.

“I have a lot of ambitions. I would like one day to direct and I just want to keep doing quality work. LA is kinda groovy – I really like it out there.”

Matt, 28, will discuss potential scripts and audition for roles which could make him a global star.

But he’s cautious of the fact that many Brits who head to the United States hoping to make it big end up returning with their tails between legs – like Cheryl Cole for instance.

“I take each day as it comes,” says Matt wisely. “You can only try your best and see what rubs off.

“Would I get a big part, who knows? Sadly, that is not up to me.

“That all depends on people in the American film industry and whether they want to put me there.

“But I certainly won’t complain if that happens.”

However, before we start seeing Matt’s name on billboards alongside the likes of Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise, there is the small matter of his day job – saving the universe as Doctor Who.
