David Tennant, Barty Crouch Junior, from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire has acquired a new role in the States. Mr. Tennant will be thethe new host
of PBS' "Masterpiece Contemporary" starting in the fall.
Mr. Tennant had this to say of the honor:
I'm honored to be hosting the series that introduced American audiences to programming such as Casanova and He Knew He Was Right. And it's a thrill to join the Masterpiece family of hosts: Mystery's Alan Cumming and Classic's Laura Linney.

I appreciated his talent in GoF. I loved him as Dr. Who; one of the best. Now I can not wait to see him as host of the Masterpiece Contemporary.

Never really liked PBS much, most of the time I spend watching TV is watching Lost or...well that's it, there are no other good shows on TV nowadays, everything's reality *exaggerates*.
