Tennant 'hoping to break Hollywood'

David Tennant has spoken out about his plans to break Hollywood.

The Doctor Who star told Radio Times that if his new NBC series Rex Is Not Your Lawyer is a success, he will move over to Los Angeles.

"It seems British actors are more and more in vogue there - look at Hugh Laurie," he said. "He's just about as big a star as you get in the States and he's made it in a role he would never have been given here.

"But I'm not really thinking, 'Well, they all did it, so I'll do it.' There's no great plan. You just muddle along, and if an opportunity comes up, it would be silly not to take it."

Comedy series Rex centres on Tennant's character, a top lawyer who starts suffering from panic attacks and eventually coaches his clients to represent themselves in court.
