Matt Smith: 'I won't be typecast because of Doctor Who'

Matt Smith has insisted that he won't be typecast once he leaves Doctor Who.

The 28-year-old predicted that he shouldn't have trouble landing roles that are distinctly different from Doctor Who's renegade Time Lord.

"I don't think good actors get typecast. In ten years' time I'll be playing very different parts than I am playing now. So there is plenty of time for me to evolve as an actor," The Daily Record quotes him as saying.

Smith also revealed that playing The Doctor is particularly rewarding because the character continues to change with every new adventure into space and time.

"I can never relax because I'm always pushing myself to the highest level but it's nice to enjoy the fact people have accepted me as The Doctor and enjoy the things I do," he explained.

"I think he's grown. I hope people see growth. I think he should always be evolving."

Smith recently revealed that he has no plans to leave Doctor Who in the near future.

Doctor Who continues Saturday with the episode 'Night Terrors' on BBC One in the UK and BBC America in the US.
