He certainly has the best and most varied back catalogue of work before becoming the Doctor. I was a massive fan of his before he was announced so you can imagine my ecstasy when he was revealed as the next Doctor. Unbelievable! Can't wait 'till August
Well anyway there is a bloke who runs a tumblr page dedicated to Peter Capaldi the actor. He got many fans to send in cartoons of Capaldi as the Doctor, made it into a scrapbook and sent it to the fan post. Peter actually got it, loved it and has personally replied to some of the fans with I think either his own cartoon or their cartoon, I can't remember. But he wote personal handwritten messages of thanks on them, where he gets the time I'm not sure. He's bad ass and cool :cool:
Tom Baker says he will be fab, but goes on to say everyone in the role is always fab
P. S. Looks like the site is back, the Daleks noticed we were on to them ....
P. P. S. "At least 2 of those that contributed to the book have received signed postcards, each with a different bit of artwork drawn and painted by him behind the promotional image of him as the Twelfth Doctor! *"
That's brilliant, the guy is a class act for sure:)
He's given amazing performances in everything I've seen him in (which includes a very wide variety of roles), even in parts where other actors might not put in a lot of effort, such as minor characters who only have a couple of scenes. He exhibits all the qualities I would look for in my ideal Doctor. Also, his respect and fondness for the show and it's fans is astonishing.
I saw him filming in Cardiff a few weeks ago. He was very friendly and polite to everyone, and seemed to go out and speak to fans, sign autograpohs and pose for pictures at every opportunity. I was lucky enough to get quite a good view of the filming and, even though I only saw multiple takes of one short scenes, I really liked his performance.
It takes a nation of millions to decide whether he's a success, chuck. :kitty:
But I'm quitely confident. And agree he seems to be an absolute class act in the way he interracts with fans. As indeed were Matt, David, etc....
These are my thoughts exactly. In the same way you can't say he's gonna be crap before you see him, it's just the same to say he's gonna be 'awesome' as well.
You need to watch an episode or two before confirming whether he's gonna be one or the other.
I agree he's an absolute class act.
My nephew really can't wait for series 8 now, he's so excited:D
Think about it, if you keep building him up and building him up in your head then no matter how good he or his portrayal is, it will never be good enough to meet the impossibly high expectations you have set for him, meaning you may actually feel let down.
I Think he looks like he'll suit the role, I hope he'll do well in his portrayal of the character, but I will decide nothing on his abilities in the role until the end titles of episode 8.1 are rolling at least.
To be fair, the original post makes that clear - that it should really be about how Capaldi is awesome and is the Doctor, rather than definitely awesome at being the Doctor. It's a little bit tongue-in-cheek, and nothing wrong with that, eh?
... EVERYTHING IS AWESOME
Don't worry - you will be saying the same thing when Doctor 13 is cast. ;-)
Precisely, he may end up being a terrible doctor (Though I hope not!!). However, right now he's doing a great at keeping fans happy and making the best of his dream. After reading about the fan scrapbook , I just felt he is pretty awesome
Haven't seen the Lego movie yet.
I like him, I've never watched Tucker, or many other things he's been in but I think he is great as the Doctor.
Then there's that leg flick at the end of Time Heist..
Apologies for quoting myself but I am glad that I didn't believe the hype as in my humble opinion Capaldi as the Doctor is not awesome or ever will be.
I never thought I'd dislike any Doctor until now.
Peter Capaldi rekindled my love for Doctor Who, and I hope he sticks around for a while, cos I think he's awesome. His incarnation of the doctor really appeals to me, and Doctor Who is a lot more enjoyable again, now that he's in it.
Peter is settling into the Doctor roll nicely, Clara is a gorgeous character and is someone who I never get tired of looking at (loving her nose) and series 8 is moving along nicely - with no over complicated stories that make me go "WTF?"
