Title: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: Iceman on September 05, 2010, 05:43:11 pm I don't want Matt Smith to leave anytime soon. I'm just curious.
My picks: An older Doctor: (http://www.narniafans.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/bill-nighy.jpg) Bill Nighy Or if they keep with the younger guys: (http://images.contactmusic.com/newsimages/rupert_grint_1143978.jpg) Mr. Ron Weasley himself, Rupert Grint You? Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: The Doc on September 05, 2010, 05:49:23 pm I think Rupert Grint would be awesome, but if he was to take the role, I would hope that it wouldnt be for a few years. I think he would need to be at least Matt's age before taking on the role. Well, I think anyone would for that matter

Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: Seren_y_Gogledd on September 05, 2010, 06:25:46 pm My daughter says the guy who played Caleb in Mission:2110 (Stuarrt Goldsmith) - that character is very Doctor-like already.
I'd like it to be someone who isn't very well-known, not a complete beginner but not a huge star either, no names really come to mind though. Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: Seren_y_Gogledd on September 05, 2010, 06:28:20 pm Sorry for double post, can't edit on mobile site. Obviously meant Stuart before. :-)
Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: Mind_Robber on September 05, 2010, 08:28:27 pm This might be a bit left-wing, but I'd love to see RPatz play the Doctor.
It's crazy, I know, but Robert just has that crazy energy that the Doctor has become famous for, and he would fit in so well after MS. Please don't hate me for this. It's just my opinion. :) Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: Seren_y_Gogledd on September 05, 2010, 09:05:21 pm It really depends how long we have Matt's Doctor, right now I think Pattinson is too young but who knows once he gets to Matt's age? Trouble is, no matter how good he may be in the role, there will always be a) Anti-Twilight brigade hating him for that and b) the more, um, 'involved' Twilight fans hating him for not being a vampire.

Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: The Doc on September 05, 2010, 09:17:52 pm :o
I do not rant! THOUGH NO WAY IS CUMBERBATCH GOING ANYWHERE NEAR THAT ROLE :D Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: MandyDuchovney on September 05, 2010, 09:31:54 pm :o I do not rant! THOUGH NO WAY IS CUMBERBATCH GOING ANYWHERE NEAR THAT ROLE :D Hehe... ;D Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: Sandiwich11 on September 06, 2010, 12:04:24 am I've been think that Rupert Grint would make a better 13th Doctor due to his age, give it another 5-7 years and I think he could be perfect for the job.
I would however prefer an older actor for 12, Sean Pertwee or Jack Davenport maybe if they cast a well known actor, but I do like it when they go for someone who isn't as well known. Cumberbatch might make a good villain, but I hope and pray he is never the Doctor. Perfect as Sherlock thou :) Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: MandyDuchovney on September 06, 2010, 12:30:33 am My mentioning Cumberbatch was a wind up - it would be over MY DEAD BODY I can assure you ;)
I wanted Sean Pertwee for 11 so I'd have no problem with him if they went for an older 12. :D Beyond that my mind is a blank. ::) :P Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor?

Trouble is, no matter how good he may be in the role, there will always be a) Anti-Twilight brigade hating him for that and b) the more, um, 'involved' Twilight fans hating him for not being a vampire. Honestly, as long as people continue to associate Robert with Edward, that's always gonna be an issue. Part of it is that people have a problem seeing past typecasting. If twilight fans/haters could see past that, then they would appreciate his take on the role a lot better. Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: thefifthdoctor on September 06, 2010, 09:27:02 pm Richard Motherf*cking Coyle if you please.
Failing that I'll take someone who can do a bit of Pertwee style swashbuckling - how about James Purefoy, Sean Pertwee or Jonny Lee Miller? RPatz is wrong, wrong, wrong. He may have wannabe DT hair, but the boy can't act for toffee. Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: The Doc on September 06, 2010, 09:31:05 pm I agree, Robert Pattinson is an awful actor and shouldnt be allowed anywhere near the show. A lot of people were suggesting James McAvoy via twitter when I asked this a while back but I wouldnt want him either. There are lots of people I know I wouldnt want, but not many I think would be great. I like the Sean Pertwee idea though
Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: thefifthdoctor on September 06, 2010, 10:06:27 pm I think he could have been a revelation as The Doctor.
Obvious connection aside, we're mostly used to Sean Pertwee as a hard man. I think he'd surprise a lot of folk. I read rumours that he had to turn down 11 due to work conflicts/commitments. Might be rubbish though. Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: The Doc on September 06, 2010, 10:14:29 pm Oh I didnt hear that one. I suppose the downside (if you can call it that) to him being in the role would be that a lot of people would say its 'gimmicky'
Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: MandyDuchovney on September 06, 2010, 10:26:04 pm I think he could have been a revelation as The Doctor. Obvious connection aside, we're mostly used to Sean Pertwee as a hard man. I think he'd surprise a lot of folk. I read rumours that he had to turn down 11 due to work conflicts/commitments. Might be rubbish though. There was a lot of talk about Sean being up for the part after DT announced he was leaving. Right up until the night Matt was announced I was led to believe he WAS 11 :-\ Talk about being disappointed ::) Still..... I love Matts doc...so all turned out well for me in the end. ;) I think he's been considered for The Master as well :o :P Sean that is...not Matt ;D Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: The Doc on September 06, 2010, 10:30:30 pm Oh, he would make a brilliant Master. This should be done
Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: MandyDuchovney on September 06, 2010, 11:06:30 pm Oh, he would make a brilliant Master. This should be done I wanted Sean for the doctor and Timothy Dalton as the master ::) ;D Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: TheDoctorDonna on September 06, 2010, 11:08:31 pm I don't think I know who he is. Well I mean I know who he is obviously, but
don't think I've seen him in anything Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: thefifthdoctor on September 07, 2010, 11:42:35 am That would've been a good shout there Mandy, but I was happy with Timothy Dalton & his spittle of doom playing Rasillon (sp).
No love for Richard Coyle here then? Anyone? Nope? Very underated in my humble opinion. Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: MandyDuchovney on September 07, 2010, 01:08:33 pm That would've been a good shout there Mandy, but I was happy with Timothy Dalton & his spittle of doom playing Rasillon (sp). No love for Richard Coyle here then? Anyone? Nope? Very underated in my humble opinion. I was VERY happy with Timothy Dalton....full stop :D ;) Richard Coyle? Hmmm....liked most things I've seen him in. Really enjoyed 'STRANGE'. Yes..could see it working 8) Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: thefifthdoctor on September 07, 2010, 08:36:12 pm I was really, really surprised to see Coyle play the older brother of Jake Gyllenhal in Prince of Persia!
He was great in it too! Really talented bloke - most folk love him from Coupling I'd imagine, but he's got a lot of talent for sure. Timothy Dalton is class, wonder if they can find a way to bring him back? After all, if the Omega rumours are true at all, Rasillon was involved wasn't he? (wracks brain for old school Who facts...... :-\ ) Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: poprockgeek on September 07, 2010, 09:15:58 pm Now I've put my brain in gear and actually remembered who Richard Coyle is (it's slow sometimes!) I fully support this motion. Loved him in Going Postal :)
Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: TheDoctorDonna on September 07, 2010, 10:10:55 pm I've never even heard of him
Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: thefifthdoctor on September 07, 2010, 10:27:34 pm I've never even heard of him Here ya go! http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0185404/ Really, really talented! I'd even settle for a guest star spot to be honest, I just enjoy his work. Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: Vampyros Adric on September 08, 2010, 08:35:56 am This is one of my very favourite things to think about - new Doctors (although I am loving the way Matt Smith is growing into the role and hope to see him develop for many years to come). Heartily agree with OP about Bill Nighy, although wonder when MS is done if he might not be a bit too old (for that reason I'm discounting my all time favourite for the role, Roy Marsden - anyone who has seen him in Sandbaggers will know what an amazing presence he has but, alas, years have caught him up). Would also like to throw another Sherlock alumni into the mix; Martin Freeman. I know he is typecast as the "laid-back every man" but I rather think he would confound us and pleasantly. Can't argue with Richard Coyle to be honest :) but my real suggestion is this; how about David Morrissey? I know we'd have 'The Next Doctor' issues to contend with (but I am sure we could get around that with a bit of creative thinking).
(If its a blank cheque, wish-list (and I do know this is impossible) but if Liam Neeson became available, I would be delighted to see him) Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: Mind_Robber on September 08, 2010, 11:00:26 am (If its a blank cheque, wish-list (and I do know this is impossible) but if Liam Neeson became available, I would be delighted to see him) Ooo now there's an idea. Liam Neeson would be a great Doctor. I've seen some of his work, and I particularly loved him as Qui-Gon in Star Wars ;D Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: Vampyros Adric on September 08, 2010, 02:19:11 pm I can really see Neeson doing a brilliant job. He'd be able to play wisdom and power and gentle and brilliance. If I was given Emperor status of the Universe my first task would be make Liam Neeson play 3 seasons (and 4 specials) as the Doctor. After that I'd move on to poverty and disease ;)
(This is all, of course completely impossible) Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor?

After all, if the Omega rumours are true at all, Rasillon was involved wasn't he? (wracks brain for old school Who facts...... :-\ ) When it comes to Timothy Dalton facts/canon/time should be re- written ;D ;) Liam Neeson? As the doctor? Hmmm....no. In the show? Maybe...although he's not a great one for tv is he...unless he appears as himself :-\ Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: Vampyros Adric on September 08, 2010, 02:31:03 pm Absolutely agree it is a virtual impossibility (although I would say look at the US dramas with Martin Sheen, Michael J. Fox, Rob Lowe, Lawrence Fishbourne all willing to make the shift from big screen to little) BUT you are right, there is not a hope in hades of Neeson actually doing the gig.
As for canon, I've said in another post, IMHO you can throw it all out of the window as far as I'm concerned as long as I get a good story - hence my 'real' Doctor being David Morrissey (though Dalton would be awesome as well) :) Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: Mind_Robber on September 08, 2010, 05:16:40 pm As great as it would be to have Neeson play the Doctor, I gotta agree. The chances of him actually signing up to the gig are slim to none.
Still, it'd be great to see anyone American - or even Canadian - play the Doctor. I know the Doctor tends to visit the UK more than anywhere else, but these days that doesn't mean he neccesarilly has to be from the UK. Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: The Doc on September 08, 2010, 06:27:33 pm There is something about Liam Neeson that grates my cheese. Every time I see him in something, I just want to switch over, no matter how much I may have been enjoying previously. He always seems to suck the life out of a scene. IMO anyways
Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: MandyDuchovney on September 08, 2010, 07:51:41 pm Still, it'd be great to see anyone American - or even Canadian - play the Doctor. I know the Doctor tends to visit the UK more than anywhere else, but these days that doesn't mean he neccesarilly has to be from the UK. I may be wrong but I can't see the part going to anyone BUT a Brit :) They had the ideal opportunity to break the mould with the tv movie but they went with McGann. Kind of speaks volumes ;) Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor?

Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: BeeSC on October 14, 2010, 05:09:06 pm Okay, this is a long shot and people may not like it, but how about Julian McMahon? http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0573037/
I know we've only seen him mostly in a dark role, Cole Turner, Dr. Doom, Christian Troy, but He could play an awesome Doctor. I know he's not English, but if he can pull off the American accent why not the English one? Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: sleekituk on October 17, 2010, 12:32:06 am If he became The Doctor I would have to stop watching or I would die from the hotness!!!! :P
Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: The Doc on October 17, 2010, 12:37:16 pm I dont think I would like him as the Doctor. He is a good actor, great at times. But I just don't think he would be very good as the Doctor. As the Master though!! I think he would rock that and I think I would prefer him to Simm
Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: Peri-Peri on October 17, 2010, 12:56:53 pm I think Kris Marshall would be great as the Doctor.
Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: The Doc on October 17, 2010, 12:59:40 pm Is he the guy from the BT ads and My Family? He could be a good choice
Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: poprockgeek on October 17, 2010, 01:58:51 pm Is he the guy from the BT ads and My Family? He could be a good choice He is yeah - I like him. My Family lost something for me when he left. Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: Exterminate on October 17, 2010, 08:47:18 pm What about someone like Tony Head? I know he has been in the show, but I think he could make such a great Doctor.
Didnt Tom Baker suggest Eddie Izzard once? Or was that a joke that I didnt get? Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: TheDoctorDonna on October 17, 2010, 09:32:58 pm Wasnt his name in the frame for the Tenth Doctor? I think he could have been great, but perhaps his time has passed
Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: MandyDuchovney on April 08, 2011, 09:25:33 pm I was just thinking - with Robert Carlyle becoming free after the demise of SGU - whether he would now consider taking the role?
Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: missadric2 on April 10, 2011, 03:24:43 pm I have my favourite BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH haha but I would say that
Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: 2cajuman2 on April 10, 2011, 03:27:49 pm I wouldn't really want Robert Carlyle, he has been talked about, but I am not a fan enough that I think he would be a good Doctor...
As for Benny... NO, IMHO the only character I would want Benny playing is The Master ;) Though one of my friends suggested he played Arthur Conan Doyle... BUT NO BENNY AS DOCTOR! :P Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: missadric2 on April 10, 2011, 08:04:10 pm Really???? I genuinely think he would be good but him as the master would be good too!!!!
Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: 2cajuman2 on April 10, 2011, 08:12:34 pm Noooo, besides he said he doesn't want the role... I'd like him as Master >:D
Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: missadric2 on April 11, 2011, 04:15:13 pm Oh I know he doesn't want the role just sayin he would be good as him hehe humm ok a different actor for me I would choose either Alan Rickman or Martin Freeman oh or Andy Surkiss (if that's how you spell his name I'm terrible at spelling!!!!)
Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: MandyDuchovney on April 15, 2011, 12:36:05 pm I quite fancy a classy Doctor for 12 - a little like 3/8. It would be a nice contrast to Matt's quirky nature. Definitely someone older as well 8)
A part of me still wishes Sean Pertwee would accept the gig :( Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: missadric2 on April 15, 2011, 02:49:55 pm Oooo after you said that then maybe Sam Troughton :)
Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: the13thdoctor on November 24, 2012, 04:54:55 am clearly me!... haha jk um i could see someone who isnt necessarily a british icon. someone smaller not as big like matt smith or peter davidson whos acting career was made by doctor who. we might see someone come up in the next few years that we do not know yet. i do think there is a chance he could be ginger though. rupert isnt quirky enough though he is too simplistic as an actor hed need more zing in the way he comes off
Title: Re: Who would you cast as the 12th Doctor? Post by: ardalyon on November 24, 2012, 12:00:12 pm How about Tilda Swinton?
