Tom Baker is a British actor born in Liverpool, England on January 20th, 1934. He is best known for playing the role of the Fourth Doctor on the BBC television series Doctor Who. Baker's version of the Doctor is arguably one of the most popular and recognizable interpretations of the character to date, particularly amongst American audiences. His role was characterized by Baker's signature curly hair, his wide-eyed stare, manic expressions and the traditional character attire, which consisted of a wide-brimmed fedora, a trailing overcoat and a long, flowing scarf. Baker played the role of the Doctor for seven series (or seasons) between 1974 and 1981, totalling 173 episodes. The character was introduced in the finale of series eleven "Planet of the Spiders (Part 6)", replacing the previous Doctor played by Jon Pertwee. Baker's final role in the series was in the 1981 episode "Logopolis (Part 4)" where he was replaced with actor Peter Davison as the Fifth Doctor.
