Does that make him the first or second doctor to be so honored?

Are we counting Peter Cushing, OBE?

John Hurt (the War Doctor) has a CBE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hurt

Also Wilf has an OBE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Cribbins

If we're counting Peter Cushing, then actors from the curse of the deadly death should count.

Rowan Atkinson has a CBE

Joanna Lumley DBE FRGS

Well researched.
