Matt Smith bio: who is the talented actor who played the Eleventh Doctor?

"I'd been doing some work as a labourer and I'd been lifting up concrete floors when some of the concrete flew up and smashed into my face. My nose got all swollen and became infected, so I was kept on a drip of antibiotics for a week. I got the call to say I got the part while I still in hospital on the Sunday night (in Queensland) and I had to be in Melbourne by 7 am the next day.

Smith has admitted that Neighbours had to change his character's background story because of his Scottish accent. Andrew was initially meant to have been brought up in Brazil, but the strength of Smith's accent meant that this had to be changed.

On November 26, 2012, it was announced that Smith would be leaving Neighbours. He made his final screen appearance as Andrew on March 29, 2013.
