His performance was praised by Nicholas de Jongh of the Evening Standard and Susannah Clap of The Observer. Darvill appeared in Terra Haute's transfer to the Trafalgar Studios in 2007.

Down The List With 30 People (Swigger) (30 person items)"1 - Actor/Actress I Discovered Last Year (2010)
Arthur Darvill can fall under half of the categories on this list. I simply love him to pieces! He's cute and seemed like a fun person to be around. I discovered him while watching Little Dorrit, then again as Rory Williams in Doctor Who.

Favorite Characters (228 person items)"Rory Williams
Rory's the best. This guy waited for his girlfriend for 2000 years without eating or sleeping due to some weird time warp. I just think he's fantastic. And despite his loyalty, Amy thinks she can step all over him and try to get into the Doctor's pants on their WEDDING NIGHT. B**h. Any woman would be lucky to have a Rory.
