Doctor Who actor Noel Clarke has been shortlisted for Bafta's Rising Star Award recognising emerging talent. Noel played popular character Mickey Smith in Series One, Two and Four of Doctor Who and wrote an episode of Torchwood
The Rising Star Award is unique as it is the only award presented at Bafta that is voted for by the British public.
This year Noel also wrote, directed and starred in a critically acclaimed film, which has already earned him prizes at the Dinard Film Festival and the British Independent Film Awards.
Past winners of the award include Bond actress Eva Green and James McAvoy, who has since embarked upon a Hollywood career.
