Yes, you can find a comprehensive list of actors who have played the Doctor throughout the classic and modern runs of the "Doctor Who" series. Below is a list organized by the number of the Doctor and the seasons in which they appeared. Note that the classic series featured seasons while the modern series has series. **Classic Doctor Who (1963-1989):** 1. First Doctor - William Hartnell (Season 1 to Season 4; the transition occurred midway through Season 4 in 1966) 2. Second Doctor - Patrick Troughton (From partway through Season 4 to Season 6) 3. Third Doctor - Jon Pertwee (Season 7 to Season 11) 4. Fourth Doctor - Tom Baker (Season 12 to Season 18) 5. Fifth Doctor - Peter Davison (Season 19 to Season 21; the transition occurred midway through Season 21 in 1984) 6. Sixth Doctor - Colin Baker (From the latter part of Season 21 to Season 23) 7. Seventh Doctor - Sylvester McCoy (Season 24 to Season 26, and the 1996 TV movie as the beginning sequence) The Eighth Doctor (Paul McGann) appeared in the 1996 TV movie, which was a failed attempt to revive the series after its initial cancellation. Afterward, the classic series concluded until it was later revived in 2005. **Modern Doctor Who (2005-present):** 1. Ninth Doctor - Christopher Eccleston (Series 1) 2. Tenth Doctor - David Tennant (Series 2 to Series 4, plus subsequent specials leading into 2010) 3. Eleventh Doctor - Matt Smith (Series 5 to Series 7) 4. Twelfth Doctor - Peter Capaldi (Series 8 to Series 10) 5. Thirteenth Doctor - Jodie Whittaker (Series 11 to Series 13, including specials concluding in 2022) Between the classic and modern series, there have been additional incarnations not typically included in the sequential numbering, such as: - The War Doctor (played by John Hurt), introduced in the show's 50th-anniversary special in 2013. - The Fugitive Doctor (played by Jo Martin), introduced during the twelfth Doctor's era (season 12, 2020). - The Timeless Children revelation hints at the existence of numerous other incarnations pre-dating the First Doctor, though these Doctors have not been detailed within the series. As "Doctor Who" is a long-running and evolving show, this list is accurate as of the knowledge cutoff in early 2023. However, the casting of the Doctor can change, so it's always a good idea to check the latest updates from the show for the most current information. After Jodie Whittaker's tenure, Ncuti Gatwa has been announced to take over as the Fourteenth Doctor, beginning with future special episodes and continuing into the new seasons under returning showrunner Russell T Davies.
