ahahahaha Eddie was mentioned

to americanized? hello no!! I saw him live in June and he doesnt in anyway strike me as americanized

Even Tom Baker said back in 2003

BBC - Doctor Who (David Tennant and Billie Piper) - News

Quote:
Eddie Izzard would be ideal in the role of the Doctor, says former scarf-wearer Tom Baker.

Tom Baker has been talking about the upcoming TV series reviving the role with which he remains so firmly linked. His main suggestion for an actor to play the Doctor? Transvestite comic Eddie Izzard: "I think Eddie would be good as he's so strange - there is a benevolent alien quality to him", Baker told the Teletext website TV Plus.

Baker added that Page Three girl turned TV presenter Melinda Messenger would be well-qualified as the Time Lord's assistant. "Melinda would be good as she can scream and has bosoms. It doesn't really matter if she can act".

Baker also sounded a note of caution about the series, saying the BBC were "treading very carefully, but they are taking a terrible risk." However, Baker would relish returning to the series - as the Master! "I want to play the villain instead of the goodie," he said.

Ok, maybe Hollywoodized would be a better a better term for what I'm trying to portray. Now that he has done several Hollywood movies, and was the star of a series on a major cable network, I don't know if he would be content with Doctor Who.

I think he has the potential to be great at it, but I just don't know if he'd do it.

I think Izzard would be more ikely to take a role asa villain than the Doctor.

The idea of Jim Nesbit is nteresting, and Coyle would be great -he's got the connections to the Moffat aparat, and was great in Coupling (the original UK version).

Also an option is Marc Warren.

Izzard would be a pretty good choice for the new Who, although, you're right, I'd rather see him as a villain of some sort rather than the good Doctor.

I seem to remember Nesbitt's name floating around a couple of years ago for the role, yes? With Moffat taking over this huge responsibility, maybe an actor he's already worked with should be the way to go....for whatever reason, I think Nesbitt would do a fine job in filling the Doctor's shoes.

The notion of a female Doctor is kind of interesting, but I don't know how far that idea would fly on its own, especially if Billie Piper's name starts flying around as well. I, personally, didn't really have a problem with the character of Rose, but it seems there is a sizable contingent that do....

I am quite sad about this. James Nesbitt would be interesting. Russell Brand looks like a tool. Jason O'Mara sucks in the sucky remake of Life on Mars, and I thank God that's not a serious possibility. John Simm would kick ass, but he has already been The Master. I'm sure they could find an excuse for that though Stephen Fry would be an interesting choice.

So I take it that no one has recently googled "Doctor Who Patrick Stewart."

--

I think it would be excellent to see Baker working with Doctor Who again, even if it is just as the role of a villain.

At first, I thought that was one schmucky idea.... Stewart is too old. We need a young, vibrant doctor blah blah blah.

After some consideration, however, Stewart would be a fantastic doctor. We've had the young, hip doctor with his love pangs and such....we need a doctor with some 'gravitas.' An older doctor, maybe with a companion (or two!)....that would stir things up a bit, yes? And who better to do so than the beloved Captain?

I would loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove to see Patrick Stewart as The Doctor! Sadly, I'm pretty sure he's just guesting.

As for Russell Brand, I'll join you in not watching. I don't care how much I like Doctor Who, it's not worth putting up with that guy.

It's impossible for every Doctor to be the "best" Doctor. Matt Smith (what a boring name) will certainly be no David Tennant, but keep in mind that when DT was named a lot of people had a similar reaction (who?). Granted, DT had more experience than this plucky chap (hey, we're in a Doctor Who thread, gotta talk British :P), but apparently Smith has done a good job in the productions he has been in.

His age concerns me, both from a quality standpoint and a story standpoint. I'm skeptical that his acting will be as good as if it were someone 10+ years older, but more importantly I just have a very hard time picturing The Doctor as someone younger than, say, 35 at the youngest. And when I'm 35, I'll probably think The Doctor should be at least 45.

Anyway, I'll give him a chance........so long as they do something about his hair. His franken-looks...well I'll just have to get used to that. (Yes, I know, I'm mean.)

In my lifetime I've seen the transitions from 3rd to 10th (not forgetting that they've never filmed the transition from McGann to Eclestone), and every time I've wondered if it'd be any good, and every time I've ended up still liking the show just as much s I ever did, but maybe for different reasons.

What I find interesting re-watching the very old shows (70's and 80's) is that some stories I remembered actually had a different doctor from the one I thought was in them; thus proving that you remember the character, not the actor in many cases.

Interesting. - He has a sort of skinny David Boreanaz feel to his face.
He seems to respect the product, he and his family. So, that bodes well.

I'm looking forward to his take on the Doctor.

Well, I just viewed the 2008 Christmas special. I quite enjoyed it, though I had kinda assumed that Spoiler: he regenerated during this. The title of the episode hinted at this - of course it was a furphy

I'm looking forward to 2010 - the new head writer has written some of my favourite recent episodes (like Blink), so it is definitely in good hands.

Fun!

I was reading another forum discussing the actor slated to play the new doctor and how young he is, and someone brought up the interesting idea that the Doctor is manifesting younger and younger as he approaches his 12th and "final" regeneration.

This isn't strictly true when you count the classic Doctors, but you could argue this in the broad sense. The first Doctor was quite elderly after all

I wonder if this will come into play.
