Few actors are as beloved in the geekosphere as David Tennant. The Scottish actor has spent his career delivering some of the most unforgettable performances in the science fiction and fantasy genres. From 2005-2010 he won our hearts as the Tenth Doctor on the iconic British series Doctor Who. He brought the demon Crowley to life in Amazon’s Good Omens. And he frightened viewers as the abusive and controlling Kilgrave in Netflix’s Jessica Jones, as well as playing Barty Crouch Jr. in the Harry Potter films. Tennant is just as adored for his performances as he is for being a positive presence in fandom and in real life. He turns 50 today, and many took to Twitter to celebrate his birthday.
