Is Peter Capaldi the only Doctor to play another role in Doctor Who?
Peter is the special guest actor in S4:E3 of modern Doctor Who, alongside David Tennant's Doctor. He of course also took that titular role himself, after Matt Smith. There's a fun moment where the two grasp hands which is fun in hindsight.
Have other actors played both The Doctor and appeared in the show in other roles, either before or after their time as Doctor?
