Anna Gunn has spoken about her Gracepoint co-star David Tennant in an new interview with the LA Times.
"He is incredibly enthusiastic and buoyant and gregarious and funny. He greets everybody with tremendous excitement. He’s like, 'HELLLLLOOO!'” she said, talking about the moment the stars of the new Fox TV crime drama first met. 
Anna had some concerns about working with David on Gracepoint, the American remake of his UK series Broadchurch, particularly as she would be effectively stepping into the role originally played by Olivia Colman. It turned out that she had no need to worry and he greeted her with a warm hug in her trailer to dispel her anxiety
"David is an incredibly kind and open actor and human being," she said." So the minute we met, we shook hands and said hello and then we hugged and said, “All right, here we go.” It was a silent, unspoken mutual decision to just take our own journey with it.
"I could hear him outside the trailer and I was l…

Starpulse in the USA have tapped David Tennant as one of their eight potential breakout stars on American TV this season. David is heading up the cast of Gracepoint, the new ten part crime drama from Fox which premieres on Thursday. Although David has a certain cult following in the USA already he is mainly known through his work in Doctor Who and the Harry Potter franchise. The time is ripe, they say, for American audiences to catch up with what fans in the UK know already.

David Tennant
Gracepoint (FOX) - Premieres Thursday 2nd October, 9pm/8c
We're not saying that nobody knows who David Tennant is. However, try naming something he's done outside of Doctor Who. Many people can't, and that's a shame. He's one of the best actors to have come out of the United Kingdom in a long time, maybe ever (see: Blackpool, his performance of Hamlet, Recovery and of course, the original Broadchurch). Gracepoint is Tennant's first starring role in an American TV production, and …

Making a small independent British film is never going to be easy at the best of times, but the creators of new BBC Films comedy What We Did On Our Holiday found they had to contend with another unforeseen hazard. The new black comedy starring David Tennant and Billy Connolly features some stunning locations in the Highlands of Scotland, but the filmmakers soon discovered that these came at a cost when their big finale scene was nearly sabotaged by some of Scotland’s tiniest wildlife – the dreaded midges!
In his production diary published in the Telegraph Magazine recently, Andy Hamilton told how the shoot was subjected to an unrelenting invasion by billions of the insects that set the air shimmering with their sheer numbers. Some of the crew were offered midge nets for protection but this was obviously not an option for the actors who just had to gin and bear it. Andy chose not to use one in solidarity with the stars of the film, who also included Ben Miller, Rosamund Pike and Amelia …

In a new interview, David Tennant explains to the New York Times how he came to star in Gracepoint , the American remake of Broadchurch, in an almost identical role. He plays Detective Emmett Carver, the Californian-based counterpart to DI Alec Hardy, the cop who uncovered the killer of a young boy in a sleepy coastal town.
“It was not the sort of thing you’d expect to be asked to do,” David said “But then because of that very novelty of it, it felt like something that I couldn't say no to.
“The thing is, Broadchurch had a wonderful reception in the US and some very lovely things were written about it but not that many people saw it. So we’re bringing this story to a mass audience and I make no apology for that. I think that’s a good thing. We’re not making it for people who've seen Broadchurch, really.
“Of course,” he added, “I’d be delighted if they watch, too.”

"Postman Pat is one of those characters that you feel you've always known," says Stephen Mangan who voices the titular postman in the character's first ever big screen outing.

"Stephen Mangan as Pat is stunning," director Mike Disa says. "This guy is just unbelievable, the depth and layers he brings to the Pat character."

"All the people who've grown up with Postman Pat, whatever age they now are, will be able to take something from this film," adds David, who plays Wilf,  Pat's nemesis in the talent show. "It's got a genuine …
