Matthew Robert Smith (born 28 October 1982) is an English actor. He is known for playing the Eleventh Doctor in the BBC science fiction television series Doctor Who (2010–2013), Prince Philip in Netflix's historical series The Crown (2016–2017)—for which he received a Primetime Emmy Award nomination—and Daemon Targaryen in HBO's fantasy drama series House of the Dragon(2022–present). Smith initially aspired to be a professional footballer, but spondylolysis forced him out of the sport. After joining the National Youth Theatre and studying drama and creative writing at the University of East Anglia, he began his acting career in 2003, performing in plays such as Murder in the Cathedral, Fresh Kills, The History Boys, and On the Shore of the Wide World in London theatres. Extending his repertoire into West End theatre, he has since performed in the stage adaptation of Swimming with Sharks with Christian Slater, followed a year later by a critically acclaimed performance in That Face. Smith's first television role was in 2006 as Jim Taylor in the BBC adaptations of Philip Pullman's The Ruby in the Smoke and The Shadow in the North. His first significant television role came as Danny in the 2007 BBC series Party Animals. In film, he has played a dual role in the science fiction film Womb (2010), the physical forms of Skynet in the cyberpunk action film Terminator Genisys (2015), a 1960s pimp in the psychological horror film Last Night in Soho (2021) and Milo Morbius in the superhero film Morbius (2022).

We follow the story of the heroic warrior Xena, who tries to make amends for her dark past, and the story of the hero Hercules, son of the powerful god Zeus. Both of them, together with their friends, wander through ancient Greece, trying to fight the forces of evil and protect the weak against both the will of the gods and all sorts of monsters and tyrants. Xena is accompanied by her loyal friend and fellow warrior Gabrielle and Hercules by his best friend Iolaus. Their paths cross from time to time and sometimes they even join forces to fight their common enemies. We probably all remember Xena: Warrior Princess and Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. If a remake were to ever come out, I would keep everything that was best about those shows. I would definitely avoid any over-the-top modernization except for the trick scenes, the sets, and the overall cinematic scale.
