Jenna Coleman: Matt Smith Talks Leaving 'Doctor Who'

Jenna Coleman gets sandwiched in between Matt Smith and Steven Moffat while attending the WIRED cafe during 2013 San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday afternoon (July 20) in San Diego, Calif.

While attending the Brave New Warriors panel on Friday (July 19), Matt, 30, talked about leaving the popular program after the Christmas special.

“It’s been a privilege to work with [executive producer] Steven Moffat, but I think, ‘When you got to go, you go to go,” he shared and added: “I’m a big fan as well as being in it,” he said. “I’ll follow it and they’ll get a brilliant actor [to play the Doctor next]. To know it carries on is kind of lovely — you’re part of a legacy that doesn’t die … I’m a little cog in a big wheel. I’ll keep watching for sure.”
