Writer's Block: Doctor Who?

[Error: unknown template qotd]

I don't have an "ideal" doctor, but I agree with Moffat's comment a few months ago about there needs to be a grandfather-like feel to the actor. He/She doesn't necessarily need to be old, but needs to have a personality that conveys the age of the Doctor. I'm going to need to be won over by Matt Smith.

Names I would throw into the casting hat for the Doctor include:
* Stephen Fry

* Jack Davenport

* Bill Nighy

* Rowan Atkinson (I know he's been the Doctor before - kinda - but he could be similar to the Patrick Troughton's Doctor)

* Jonathan Rhys Meyers

* Robert Carlyle

NOOOOO!!!!! I don't want Rage Virus Zombie Daddy Doctor! Don't wanna!

But we've already had Rage Virus-Demented Military Man Doctor!

OK, if Robert can't be the Doctor. How about David Tennant in a Full Monty sequel? ;)

So we did. And he was....fantastic. (Truly. I hated that man in 28 Days Later, so the fact that he got me to adore him completely as Nine speaks to his mad acting skills.)

I would love to see David Tennant in a Full Monty sequel, but I think they did it in period dress and called it Casanova.

I also think Jack Davenport and Bill Nighy would make a good Doctor Who. I would pull for Robert Carlyle though. I just don't see Matt Smith as the doctor. I guess we will see.
