It\u2019s the standout Doctor Who<\/a> guest performance that was fleeting but oh-so memorable \u2013 and there\u2019s never a dry eye in the house when it comes to Vincent and the Doctor<\/a>.<\/p>\n More than a decade on since playing Vincent Van Gogh, actor Tony Curran chatted to RadioTimes.com<\/a> about the lasting legacy of the episode, in which he starred alongside Matt Smith\u2019s Eleventh Doctor<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Karen Gillan\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0Amy Pond.<\/p>\n When asked whether he\u2019s watched the episode or any clips back from it, Curran \u2013 who can currently be seen in the formidable role of King James<\/a> VI of Scotland and I of England in Sky\u2019s Mary & George<\/a> \u2013 said: \u201cI watched it a while ago with my daughter, a few years ago or something, and she was crying away, bless her.\u201d<\/p>\n He continued: \u201cWe did a video a few years ago, it\u2019s on my Instagram, it was Vincent\u2019s birthday and I do a little \u2018Happy birthday Vincent\u2019 and I pull up the painting that the BBC very kindly gave me as a wrap gift.<\/p>\n \u201cOf course, it was the 60th anniversary of Doctor Who and I was voted on Radio Times<\/strong> as the most beloved guest star or cameo<\/a>. That didn\u2019t go unnoticed. That was very humbling.\u201d<\/p>\n
