| 4 | Dan Starkey is an English actor, best known for his various roles in the ''Series/DoctorWho'' franchise. After being cast as a Sontaran in Series 4 of the revived series, he was given the opportunity to play the character of Strax in the episode "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E7AGoodManGoesToWar A Good Man Goes to War]]". Strax went on to become something of an unofficial mascot for the series during its 50th anniversary as well as part of the popular [[Characters/DoctorWhoThePaternosterGang Paternoster Gang]] alongside Madame Vastra (Creator/NeveMcIntosh) and Jenny Flint (Creator/CatrinStewart). There was even talk of a spin-off featuring the characters, though this ultimately happened in the form of audio plays from [[AudioPlay/BigFinishDoctorWho Big Finish Productions]]. Although Starkey mostly played characters that required him to wear masks, he finally got to show his actual face in the [[Recap/DoctorWho2014CSLastChristmas 2014 Christmas special]] as one of Santa's elves. |
