Personal life

McGann is known for trying to keep his romantic and personal life out of the media. However, he has not always been successful in doing so. In 1992, McGann married Annie Milner, with whom he has two sons, Joe McGann (born in 1989) and Jake McGann (born in 1991).


In 1994, McGann met Catherine Zeta-Jones while filming the miniseries Catherine the Great. Zeta-Jones became a friend of McGann and his family. When paparazzi took a photograph of McGann and Zeta-Jones on a London street, the two became the subject of gossip in the British tabloids, much to the distress of McGann and Milner.

Career

Early appearances

The Monocled Mutineer

McGann's first major role was the infamous British deserter and criminal Percy Toplis in the 1986 BBC serial The Monocled Mutineer. The film was based on the 1978 book of the same name, which was written by William Alison and John Fairley. Francis Percy Toplis (August 22, 1896 – June 6, 1920) was a British deserter and impostor during World War One. ... For other uses, see BBC (disambiguation). ...

Although McGann received praises for his dramatic performance, the drama was never re-broadcast on the BBC. This is because the BBC came under fire from the Conservative Government due to the sensitivity of the subject matter of the Étaples Mutiny at "The Bull Ring", a harsh British Army training ground in Étaples, France. The events that transpired at the Bull Ring remain debated, and documents concerning the occurrences there will remain sealed until 2017. They claimed that the film was inaccurate and displayed a "Left-wing bias". Toplis was a mysterious figure and the film, as well as the book, depicted him as an active participant of the Etaples Mutiny, before he was tracked down and killed some years after the end of World War I. As a result, a minor political crisis in Britain was launched which prompted the BBC to remove all planned repeat screenings of the film. Despite the banning controversy, The Monocled Mutineer was released by the BBC on video in the early 1990s, and on DVD in 2007. The Conservative and Unionist Party, more commonly known as the Conservative Party is currently the second largest political party in the United Kingdom in terms of sitting Members of Parliament (MPs), the largest in terms of public membership, and the oldest political party in the United Kingdom. ...

Film career

Following on from that part of Percy Toplis, McGann sought to a less controversial and more comedic role for his next project. In 1987, he was cast as the eponymous "I" in Bruce Robinson's cult film comedy, Withnail and I. He also starred as Anton Skrebensky in Ken Russell's 1989 adaptation of D. H. Lawrence's The Rainbow. McGann's other early film appearances include The Monk, Dealers, Tree of Hands and the epic war film Empire of the Sun.

Since 1989, McGann has concentrated primarily on television work, including Nice Town and Nature Boy for the BBC, and The One That Got Away and the second series of Hornblower for ITV. However, he has had small roles in a number of high-profile American films like The Three Musketeers and Alien³. His role in Alien³ was originally larger, but much of it was edited out of the final print. The cut footage can be seen in the extended version of the film. Nature Boy can mean: Nature Boy (see Bushy Hare), a character from the 1950 Bugs Bunny cartoon Bushy Hare Nature Boy, a jazz standard composed by Eden Ahbez Nature Boy (comics), the title of a short-lived Charlton Comics superhero of the 1950s Nature Boy (movie), a 2000 television movie...

The Doctor Who television movie was a joint venture between the BBC, Universal Studios and the Fox Broadcasting Network. McGann had signed a contract to appear as the Eighth Doctor in a new Doctor Who series, if Fox or Universal exercised their option. Thus, the television movie was supposed to be a "back door pilot" in that, if it obtained respectable ratings, the new series would continue to be produced. The movie aired on May 14, 1996 in the US and on May 27, 1996 in the UK. Although it earned 9.08 million viewers and was very successful in the UK, ratings were very low in the United States. As a consequence, Fox did not exercise its option to pick up the series and Universal could not find another network who was interested in airing a new Doctor Who series. Thus no new series was produced until 2005, after all the contractual rights had returned to the BBC, and the movie became McGann's only televised appearance as the Eighth Doctor.

For nine years, McGann was treated as the "current" Doctor by some fans until Christopher Eccleston assumed the role in 2005. McGann (1996-2005) is tied with Sylvester McCoy (1987-1996) for serving the longest period of time as the "current" Doctor, at nine years each, though McGann actually had the role for 40 days more. The show was not in production for virtually all of this time, however. McGann's single appearance as the Doctor in the television movie makes him the actor with the shortest "screen time" in that role. Christopher Eccleston (born 16 February 1964) is an English stage, television and film actor. ...


McGann's co-star in Withnail, actor Richard E. Grant, also played the Doctor in the 2003 animated webcast Scream of the Shalka. As this new Doctor was originally intended to be the canonical Ninth Doctor, at the time it was wryly observed by fans that "'and I' regenerated into 'Withnail'."[citation needed] Richard E. Grant depicted as the unofficial Ninth Doctor. ... A webcast is a live media file distributed over the Internet using streaming media technology. ... Scream of the Shalka was a flash-animated serial based on the British science fiction television series, Doctor Who. ...


Rumours abound that Paul McGann will retake the role of the eighth Doctor in a new series of television films, alongside the current television series.[3]. McGann has denied these rumours on the grounds of not having being asked back to play the part but if he were to be asked would be interested as long as he "didn't have to wear a wig".[4]

In the years following his appearance as the Doctor, Paul McGann continued to diversify his acting portfolio with the television and movie roles he accepted.

McGann played the part of David Talbot, a member of the secret organization The Talamasca, which researches and investigates the supernatural. Talbot has appeared in many of Rice's novels and has become a central character over the years.
