yep, Matt Smith is done with Dr Who, who do you guys think are worthy replacements? It's weird ow Smith is leaving, considering he truly came into his own in this series which from a plot point of view wasn't the strongest. Here are some of my suggestions:
I know Ben Whishaw is a big Who fan favourite but I just don't get it, we already got the young, hipster Dr Who with Smith, we really don't need another. I'd like to see a diferent doctor here, slightly older, mid-to-late 30s would be perfect. Someone more grizzled and world weary.
Gary Oldman has that exquisite charm and versatility, which is why Hollywood loves him so much. Personally I think he makes the perfect older doctor, obviously older than my criteria of mid-to-late 30s but who can argue with The Oldman? Still don't see it happening though!
Kenneth Branagh a guy who brings all the necessary gravitas to such a role. Again very unlikely but a guy can dream.
Other names:
Russel Tovey has done a lot of good work on TV, Being Human being a particular highlight. He may look very young but I think he's actually over 30. He brings the right kind of vulnerability yet decisive to the role. Not the perfect guy for it but just a bit of a wildcard cos I'm a fan.
Ben Barnes A definite rising star who looks so youthful but again is in his mid 30s, has the looks and the correct attitude. Dorian Grey was just a rubbish movie imo but he played the role beautifully.
Jamie Dornan the perfect age and a terrific actor to boost. Very different from Matt Smith and definitely has the ability to bring a new take on the Doctor. Freshen up the formula!
