Candace Brown and Simon Callow also celebrate today!
On this day 15th
June, there are absolutely no original broadcasted episodes of Doctor Who or
Torchwood. Believe me I’ve searched! So
in the words of 10th Doctor – “I am so sorry!”
However, celebrating
your birthday with three people from the world of Who and Torchwood is in
itself something to be proud of.
Mark
Morris is a writer of
horror, including several Doctor Who novels & one of my favourite, if
not scariest Torchwood novel – Bay of the Dead.
When you pick up a Mark Morris novel, it’s very difficult to put it
down. Check out our interview with Mark
last year. http://projecttorchwood.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/interviews-mark-morris.html
Candace
Brown starred as
Sarah Drummond, Esther’s sister in Miracle Day.
However Candace is no stranger to television. She is best known for her roles in Grey’s
Anatomy, Desperate Housewives (Mrs Chapman), the Wizards of Waverly Place as
well as The Mindy Project as Lauren Ordenstein.
Simon
Callow is no stranger
to the world of Who, having provided the voice of Tree Blathereen in The Sarah
Jane Adventures, Simon is probably better known for his role in Doctor Who as
Charles Dickens, in the 9th Doctor episode: The Unquiet Dead and
again in 2011 in ‘The Wedding of River Song’ with the 11th Doctor.
Those of us who remember
and love all things Richard Curtis however, will remember Simon’s portrayal of
Gareth in the 1994 film ‘Four Weddings and a Funeral’ still one of my favourite
films, if only for the eulogy read by John Hannah.
Others
celebrating their birthday today are: Ice
Cube, Noddy Holder, Brian Jacques (author), Anna Hazare and Gary Lightbody to
name a few.
Have a fantastic day
guys, you deserve it!
