The Pandorica Opens
Curran portrayed Vincent van Gogh in the science fiction television series "Doctor Who". The episode, written by Richard Curtis, was rated by Screen Rant as the best of Matt Smith's time as the Doctor. A scene where Curran plays van Gogh, taken into the future to see his work in a modern museum, has been described as one of the most emotional in the entire series. Curran also made a cameo appearance in the "Doctor Who" episode "The Pandorica Opens".
