David Tennant has won a daytime Emmy for his voice work on the Cartoon Network’s Star Wars: The Clone Wars series.
The former Tenth Doctor actor was named Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program at a ceremony in Los Angeles, he voiced Huyang, a droid who trains Jedi how to build lightsabres.
Clone Wars supervising director David Filoni said Tennant’s work as the Doctor convinced him that the actor, himself a Star Wars geek, was perfect for the Huyang, saying:
I absolutely loved what David Tenant was doing on Doctor Who. There was such a quizzical nature to his character, a sense of whimsy, but he could still get very powerful emotion out of the character — a lot of intensity, a lot of anger — just an incredible display of range.
