Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

“Not dead yet!”
David Tennant news: He's been cast in an NBC pilot as a Chicago lawyer who begins suffering panic attacks and so begins coaching clients on how to represent themselves in court. They're likening it to when Hugh Laurie was cast in House, with the majority of Americans not knowing who he was before that.

I'm going to go on the record and state that I'm opposed to any David Tennant project where he doesn't play a Scot.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
seconded, Scola.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think his stint as the Doctor went okay.

I meant future projects.

I'll have to hear him do an American accent before I decide. His other British accents have seemed quite breezy and effortless to me. I haven't had any problem with them at all.

I'm sure he can do an American accent well, it's just that an American accent immediately makes him more boring.

I can't imagine David Tennant being boring. If they achieve that, it'd take more than the accent for me. But they're all foreign accents to me.

Compassionately intolerant
I can totally see him as a panic-ridden character. Could be interesting...and I can understand him wanting to conquer the colonies. I just hope his ventures go better than Russell Brand's, or my other Brit faves.
