Thomas Stewart "Tom" Baker (born 20 January 1934) is a British actor. He is best known for playing the fourth incarnation of the Doctor in the science fiction television series Doctor Who, a role he played from 1974 to 1981.
He remains the longest-lived incarnation of the Doctor in the show's on-screen history, counting both the classic and modern series.
Within the series' narrative, the Doctor is a centuries-old Time Lord alien from the planet Gallifrey who travels in time and space in his TARDIS, frequently with companions. When the Doctor is critically injured, he can regenerate his body; in doing so, his physical appearance and personality change.
