yes he would be good.
Philip Glenister
Stephen Mangan
Seriously. It's within the realms of possibility as far fetched as it may sound.
He has a love for some British TV shows and he made a guest appearance on The Fast Show many years ago.
It would have created an even bigger shock than John Hurt appearing.
I can see Ian McKellan doing it.
But I really enjoy the idea the OP had of Roger Moore doing it.:D
oh boy now that would be just so kool.
I can see how the role may appeal to him too. In several of his roles where he's depicted characters from the past he's dressed as though he could be The Doctor too.
Sleepy Hollow.
Sweeney Todd.
From Hell.
The Libertine.
All very British.
Yes, I can see how he might go for it.
lets get a campaign going johnny depp for the 12th doctor.
I doubt that it could work like that. It would have to be the case that he is approached and he wants to agree. No campaign could make that happen.
I also doubt very much that he'd commit to a series. A one-off maybe, but not a series.
Helena Bonham Carter.
Judi Dench. (She does sociopathic incredibly well in films like Notes on a Scandal)
Kate Winslet
Gillian Anderson (watch her in the fall)
I know the last would be controversial given that they are an American but the actor has an excellent British Accent.
william shatner
She's been putting on an American accent in x files etc
U couldn't believe it either when i found out:)
And Johnny Depp would be pretty good too i reckon. Just get him to act like he did in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas he could play the younger version of John hurt if they ever did a time war movie?(if that's who he turns out to be of Course). Get McGann in at the start. At some point 15 or 20 mins in he regenerates. Then at the end maybe CE could be persuaded, if it's Hollywood enough, to come in for the Regen at the end?
ONLY JUST, MIND!
Not a lot of people know that.
And so on...
She's actually British.
I understand though because it came as a bit of a shock to me a few years ago when I found out.
Just checked up on her - both her parents are American and she was born in Chicago but she did spend periods of her childhood in the UK. So definitely bi-dialectical and probably holds some sort of dual nationality.
She'd still make a brilliant doctor I'm loving her Stella Gibson at the moment.
No she's American (born in Chicago) but was brought up in the UK (London) till she was Eleven when the family moved back to the U.S.
With regards to her accent she uses a British accent when in the UK (where she has lived for the last few years) but uses an American accent when in the U.S.
Let's not.
No I don't think it is. A Doctor-who-wasn't-a-Doctor is very different from imagining who might be next.
Many, though not all, of the above suggestions are based on the fact that a senior member of the acting profession was chosen, that this has to be a character who has been made 'old' by his action, John Hurt has a pretty fine record at playing that sort of thing; he would in no way be suitable for a 3-year run at the role.
Johnny Depp has previously commented on Doctor Who, as it happens. I don't know the source of the comment, but he essentially said that he absolutely loves watching the show, and it's the precise reason why he wouldn't be in it. A shame really, not that I could imagine someone of as high a calibre as him taking on a regular role.
As for who could have played the hidden Doctor, I'm inclined to be boring and stick with John Hurt. He's been cast for a character we haven't seen in action yet, so it'd be unfair to suggest who could do it better. I'm sure he's perfect for the role
For arguments sake, shock-whoa faces at the end of The Name of the Doctor could have included Kenneth Branagh, Ian McKellen...and, uh, William Hartnell
