As we know, all British actors are required to appear in Doctor Who or Harry Potter before they become famous one day.

Andrew Garfield, known worldwide as the Amazing Spider-Man, was once a part of Doctor Who - way before he traded time traveling for web-slinging.

It may come as a surprise to many Doctor Who fans, but Garfield played Frank in the Doctor Who stories Daleks in Manhattan and Evolution of the Daleks. His character was a young Tennessean living in the New York City Hooverville in 1930, at the time of the Great Depression.

Frank helped the Tenth Doctor, portrayed by David Tennant, defeat the Daleks and pig slaves. Garfield's character appeared in series 3, episodes 4 and 5, which aired in 2007.

Just five years later, Garfield was cast as Peter Parker in Sony's Spider-Man reboot, The Amazing Spider-Man. He donned the Spider-Man suit for two films, but the trilogy was never completed due to another reboot, this time led by Marvel Studios with Tom Holland as the title character.

Garfield did, however, return as Spider-Man in the MCU 's third installment, No Way Home, teaming up with Holland and Tobey Maguire 's web-slingers.

Long before that, Garfield, like many British actors, began his career in iconic British shows. Other now famous Brits who starred in Doctor Who before becoming household names include Carey Mulligan, Daniel Kaluuya and Letitia Wright.
