Samuel Anderson

 played Danny Pink in several episodes of the eighth series of Doctor Who. He also made an uncredited appearance as Orson Pink, a possible descendent of Danny, in Listen.

Anderson was born in Birmingham, but moved to London to attend drama school (ALRA). He originated a role in the National Theatre's production of The History Boys, before taking several minor parts in television.

Some time prior to his role in Doctor Who, he acted in the soap opera Emmerdale. Jenna Coleman (Clara Oswald) was playing another recurring character in the series, but the two had no significant degree of interaction.
