Early life


Gatwa was born in Nyarugenge, Kigali, Rwanda, on 15 October 1992.[15][16] His father, Tharcisse Gatwa, from Rwanda's Karongi District, is a journalist with a PhD in theology.[17][18]

The family escaped from Rwanda during the Rwandan genocide against the Tutsi in 1994 and settled in Scotland.[4] They lived in Edinburgh and Dunfermline. Gatwa attended Boroughmuir High School and Dunfermline High School before moving to Glasgow to study at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Acting in 2013.[19][20] The Conservatoire awarded him an honorary Doctorate at the class of 2022 graduation ceremony.[21]


Career


After graduating, Gatwa was granted a position in the Dundee Repertory Theatre acting graduation scheme where he performed in several productions including David Greig's Victoria.[22][23][24] He had a brief role in the 2014 sitcom Bob Servant which was also set and filmed in Dundee.[25] In 2014 Gatwa received a Commendation at the Ian Charleson Awards for his 2014 performance of Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet Home, Manchester.

In 2015, he appeared in a supporting role in the miniseries Stonemouth, an adaptation of the 2012 novel of the same name. That same year, he performed in the Kneehigh Theatres production of 946, which was adapted from Michael Morpurgo's The Amazing Story of Adolphus Tips about the rehearsals for the D-Day landing in Devon with numerous fatalities.[26] Gatwa played Demetrius in the 2016 production of A Midsummer Night's Dream at Shakespeare's Globe directed by Emma Rice.[27]

In May 2018, Gatwa was cast in the Netflix comedy-drama series Sex Education as Eric Effiong;[25] the show was released in 2019 and garnered critical acclaim.[28] Gatwa received praise for his portrayal of Eric from audiences and critics alike, particularly for how his character was not relegated to the cliché of "gay or black best friend slash sidekick stock character".[6][7] He has earned numerous accolades for the role, including a BAFTA Scotland Award for Best Actor in Television in 2020, and three BAFTA Television Award nominations for Best Male Comedy Performance, one in 2020, 2021 and 2022 consecutively.[5][6][7][8][9] In April 2022 Gatwa was cast in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, starring Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling and Sex Education co-stars Emma Mackey and Connor Swindells.


Doctor Who


On 8 May 2022, it was announced that Gatwa had been cast in Doctor Who as a new incarnation of the show's protagonist, the Doctor, succeeding Jodie Whittaker in the role.[29] Gatwa, who was cast in February,[30] will be the first black actor to lead the series, as well as the fourth Scottish actor to do so.[11][12][13][14] He was expected to take over the role in the third and final of the 2022 specials in October 2022.[31] The final Thirteenth Doctor story The Power of the Doctor revealed that Gatwa would officially play the Fifteenth Doctor, with David Tennant (who had previously played the Tenth Doctor) returning to play the Fourteenth Doctor.[32]
