Karen Gillan Answers the Web's Most Searched Questions | WIRED

[@Futurevenomzone]

It's only just dawned on me that she's probably no longer best known for being in Doctor Who after seeing all these comments of people not knowing she was scottish

Same; I wonder if people still tell her, "Come along, Pond"

[@KentVigilante]

[@caitie226]

[@marianne.mp3]

I know her for doctor who, but I didnt thought she had this thick Scottish accent on the show. But I'm not a native english speaker, maybe that's why I didnt notice the Scottish accent

[@EpicNerdsWithCameras]

@@marianne.mp3 Her accent in the show is pretty much her natural accent, if I remember correctly.

[@antonymilne1346]

The fact that she remembered the name of her stunt double for Ruby Roundhouse, and also talked so highly of her is honestly awesome to see

[@RuptimusPrime]

I mean, they worked closely together on 2 flims. It'd be really awkward if she didn't remember her name

[@Elwaves2925]

@@RuptimusPrime Yes but it's not really about remembering the name, it's because so many actors don't give their stunt doubles any credit. When they do it's usually just "my stunt double."

[@ajayprabhakar285]

Lucy Cork ? Maybe ?

I am willing to bet most actors treat the stunt double like a peasant. Dont remember his name, dont call him by his name on the set, just say " hey you".
