I know he's playing The Doctor and it's a wacky role unlike a regular 'realistic' character but he brings so much to the role. I dunno, I watch some soap actors, even quality actors in dramas and they don't have the style and charm and passion he brings to his role. He must be one of the best actors out there, don't ya think?

Also, this might not just be about Matt, but the characterozation overall, was the Doctor being all happy-go-lucky attitude last night a result of him starting to believe that Clara is just an ordinary girl (after what the psychic said and her having no idea what he was talking about when he started talking about the other Claras in Journey?)
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahaha
he needs to leave immediately, preferably by being fired in to the nearest available star. i m not sure how much ore slapstick vordville dr who i can take
But the best TV actor out there? At the moment, that would be one Mr Tennant.
Probably less than I can take of reading posts put up by people who do not know what capital letters and punctuation are.
Sorry, I don't normally comment on this sort of thing but the content of the post made it justifiable as the total lack of care in typing, for me, pretty much negates your point of view on this and quite possibly many others.
I must be honest and say that, unlike Christopher Eccleston and David Tennant, I've not seen Matt Smith in anything other than Doctor Who. So I don't know what he would be like playing another character.
I think they're all great actors, Eccleston and Smith were/are imo better at portraying the Doctor, whereas Tennant has excelled more away from the Doctor. Out of of all of them Smith has captured the weariness that comes with being an extremely old man trapped in a younger man's body the best, even when he's "clowning around" there's always something beneath it imo, you only need to watch the final episodes of Series 5 to know that. There's something special about Smith's portrayal, imo, and that's why even though I'll accept who 12 is (and not constantly hark back to Smith, or beg for his return ) Smith will probably always be my Doctor.
Matt brings range, dramatic license and changes the tone of the role so rapidly sometimes, he is quite remarkable! :cool: His easy rapport with his co-stars fizzes... Long may he continue!
But then it's the nature of the show that everyone will have their own preferences & favorite Doctors... :cool:
But Matt has made the role his own, and good luck to him. He waves his arms about a lot (but that's not acting - have you seen him on chat shows? He does the same!)
He definitely reminds me of dear Pat Troughton (MY Doctor) in certain respects, and carries the role very well.....although he uses that Sonic Screwblaster FAR TOO MUCH! (but that's the writer's fault)
In answer to the question: NO he's not the best actor on TV.
YES: he's a good actor
