The Mayor ,'End of Days'

I'd love to see a woman Doctor,
I think the only one I could've seen in that role would have been Catherine Tate, because of the taste of it we were given. But conversely, I think that's precisely why it wouldn't have been her.
I found it super interesting that they said that Matt was one of the first people they auditioned, and they knew, but they kept going, because they wanted to be thorough and make sure they'd auditioned everyone.
He was Jim.
If you've seen the Sally Lockhart mysteries with Billie Piper, he was in those.
He also spent the night with Billy Piper (and then became the Date Who Wouldn't Leave) in an ep of Secret Diary of a Call Girl.
Oh, look, another white guy.
Sorry to be cranky, but seriously. ::rolls eyes forever::
I haven't seen Smith in anything yet, but... 26! I know they would want to keep him around for a bit and watch him grow (literally) into the role, but The Doctor shouldn't be that freakin' young, yo. How is he going to project the combination of glee + alienness + maturity + intelligence + insanity? Unless he's a brilliant wee actor, but still. Twenty-Six!
Still not ginger, either. Sigh.
Still not ginger, either. Sigh.
Annnnnd my mind just went back to Julian Rhind-Tutt. Dang, but he would've been fun.
And for some strange reason, my mind just flashed on Antonio Banderas playing the Doctor, which... maybe I just haven't had enough caffeine today.
I know nothing of the young lad. I'll trust that he has the acting chops. He looks young to me. Then again I was awfully fond of CE and DT grew on me big time.
It would have been fun to have a bold move in another direction with a selection of a woman. Paterson Joseph would have been real easy on the eyes too. Ah well, I'll be watching.
Pete is very miffed about the fact that they keep casting younger and younger for the Doctor. I say the new boy looks decorative.
oh god, he comes pre-packaged with an already annoying physical twitch. I'll of course be reserving judgment for when I see him in action for a couple of episodes.
I suppose the hopeful thing about a youthful actor is that it could represent the Doctor shrugging off his angst of old (erm, of Ten and Nine) and re-embracing life with a more sunny outlook and less anger. ::crosses fingers::
