The original cast of Doc Martin features great actors who rose to fame


Season 10 of Doc Martin, the finale of the long-running ITV show, airs later in 2022 and fans are already in a reflective mood. Martin Clunes, who lives in Dorset, first brought the character to television in September 2004 and has since appeared in no less than 70 episodes, including a direct-to-TV movie in 2006. Nearly three years after the conclusion of season nine, season 10 brings the curtain down on Portwenn's favorite Doctor and the 18-year history of television in Cornwall.
With Doc Martin bringing his grumpy attitude to Cornwall for so long, it can be easy to forget how many big names started their acting careers alongside the iconic character of Clunes. To commemorate the end of the show, we've rounded up some of the biggest stars.
