Now, the BBC has confirmed that Heartstopper actress Yasmin Finney will make her own debut in the series<\/a> in time for the 60th anniversary celebrations.<\/p>\n The event will be overseen by returning showrunner Russell T Davies, which will also see David Tennant and Catherine Tate reprise their roles<\/a> as The Tenth Doctor and former companion Donna Noble, respectively.<\/p>\n However, with Yasmin being a star on the rise, you may be keen to know more about the actress \u2013 who will make history as the first transgender actor to join the main cast of Doctor Who.<\/p> Yasmin Finney is an English actress and Internet personality who is best known for her role as Elle Argent in the Netflix teen drama series Heartstopper.<\/a><\/p>\n The actress has been outspoken on her identity as a Black British transgender woman and has shared her career journey on social media.<\/p>\n Yasmin Finney will portray a character named Rose<\/strong> in Doctor Who.<\/p>\n Little else is known about the character and how much she connects to the beloved Doctor Who companion Rose Tyler, played by Billie Piper.<\/p>\n Theories are ranging from a multiversal variant of Tyler, a regenerated version or the daughter of former companion Donna Noble (Catherine Tate).<\/p>\n Of Finney\u2019s casting, returning showrunner Russell T Davies said: \u201cLife on Doctor Who gets brighter and wilder, how can there be another Rose? \u00a0You\u2019ll find out in 2023, but it\u2019s an absolute joy to welcome\u00a0Yasmin<\/span>\u00a0to the Doctor Who set.<\/p>\n \u201cWe all fell in love with her in Heartstopper, one of those shows which changes the world \u2013 and now Yasmin<\/span> can change the Whoniverse!\u201d<\/p>\n Will Rose be the new companion for The Doctor played by Ncuti Gatwa<\/a>?<\/p>\n Finney is believed to be either 18 or 19 and was born in either 2003 or 2004.<\/p>\n Yasmin Finney is an English<\/strong> actress who was born and raised in Manchester, England.<\/p>\n Prior to her casting in Doctor Who, Finney was cast in the role of Elle Argent in the British Netflix series Heartstopper.<\/strong><\/p>\n The actress revealed that she is a strong advocate of manifestation to achieve your wants and desires.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cI kind of manifest,\u201d explained Finney to RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other press. \u201cI don\u2019t know if you believe in manifestation, but I did manifest a lot after college and just in my room by myself. I would just be like, \u2018Oh my god, please just give me a shot. Just give me one shot\u2019. And then I saw the casting call for a trans girl of colour, trans fem. She moved high schools because of her hair length and her transition, she\u2019s got positive friends around her, and it\u2019s for Netflix \u2013 and I was like, \u2018There\u2019s no way this is happening right now\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cWhen I saw the casting call, I just screamed, I was like, \u2018No, I\u2019m not gonna get this \u2013 no way\u2019. And then I went for it and within a matter of a few weeks of Zoom calls and going back and forth from London, I finally got the role\u2026 It was very rewarding because I also remember that the casting call for Elle was the only international search; every other character was UK, but because there\u2019s such a lack of trans actors in the industry, it had to be international. So that also made my stakes higher, not getting the role. But luckily, I managed to graft it and I\u2019m just so blessed.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Yasmin Finney will portray a character named Rose in time for the upcoming Doctor Who 60th anniversary celebrations.<\/p>\n YALL SEE THIS pic.twitter.com\/0o4apceiAV<\/a><\/p>\u2014 val (@thqsmin) May 8, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote>Who is Yasmin Finney?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
