Early life
Tennant was born Ty Peter Martin-Moffett at Queen Charlotte's and Chelsea Hospital in the White City area of West London to then 17-year-old actress Georgia Moffett and grew up in Chiswick.[1] When his mother married Scottish actor David Tennant in 2011, whom she had met in 2008, Tennant adopted Ty, who gained Tennant's surname.[2] Tennant attended Arts Educational Schools (ArtsEd) for Sixth Form.[3]
Career
Tennant had a brief cameo in the 2013 comedy spoof The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot. He later made his feature film debut in 2019 as a younger version of Tom Glynn-Carney's Christopher Wiseman in Tolkien. That same year, he began starring in the science fiction series War of the Worlds as Tom Gresham, the younger brother of Daisy Edgar-Jones' character Emily.[4] He also made a guest appearance in an episode of the BBC One soap opera Casualty.[5]
In 2021, Tennant and Sebastian Croft were cast as the Dead Boy Detectives Edwin Paine and Charles Rowland respectively in season 3 of the DC Universe series Doom Patrol.[6] He had a cameo in Around the World in 80 Days.[7] Tennant stars as Aegon II Targaryen in the 2022 HBO fantasy series House of the Dragon, a Game of Thrones prequel and adaptation of George R. R. Martin's companion book Fire and Blood, once again playing a younger version of a character also played by Glynn-Carney.[8]
