About

Nicholas Briggs (born 29 September 1961) is an English actor, writer, director, sound designer and composer. He is known for voicing the Daleks and Cybermen in the BBC science fiction series Doctor Who (2005–present) and for serving as executive producer of Big Finish Productions since 2006, for which he has written, directed and produced licensed Doctor Who audio dramas.

A lifelong Doctor Who fan, Briggs first came to prominence through his involvement in the fan-produced audio drama series Audio Visuals (1985–1991) and various direct-to-video Doctor Who spin-offs. He joined Big Finish in the late 1990s as one of its founding creative figures. Briggs voiced the Daleks in Big Finish's licensed Doctor Who audio dramas and was subsequently cast in the same role when the television series was revived in 2005. He also appeared on screen in the BBC Doctor Who productions Torchwood (2009), An Adventure in Space and Time (2013) and The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot (2013).
Beyond Doctor Who productions, Briggs directed the BBC Radio 4 comedy Nebulous (2005–2008) and an audio drama adaptation of The Prisoner (2016–2017). He appeared in Noel Clarke's films Adulthood (2008) and 4.3.2.1. (2010). Since 2010, he has frequently portrayed Sherlock Holmes in stage and audio productions.
