David Tennant get's US Pilot

Well the track record for new WHO actor's venturing into the US television market has been sporadic at best.

Sophie Myle's vampire show on CBS was canceled
Michelle Ryan's "Bionic Woman" tanked

It's going to take a psychically linked thought process of massive proportion to sustain this show

NBC- HOW!? TENNANT did you survive the first season!?
Tennant- One thing you can stop viewers from doing.......is stop them from thinking!
 
What does? I don't have a driving license...

An ID!

If you have an ID, I don't know why you wouldn't just keep it in your wallet just in case.

Nothing I could use as an ID would fit in my wallet... But I've never felt the need to carry ID on me, I've never needed it, so I wouldn't go out of my way to have one on me.
Weird. Even in a non-driver's license capacity, I usually have to bust out my ID at least once a week for one thing or another.

I've never been carded when buying beer, not even when I was under age. The only time I've never need ID was when applying for credit, and of course when I was leaving/entering the country.
I guess it's why there's so much resistance to the idea of a compulsory ID card in this country, because we just don't need them that much.
 
Oh! No way! How horrible for him! :lol:

Apparently not many BBC watchers in that building!

I think it's hilarious.

I just don't understand why you wouldn't always have your ID on you.

Same here. Though I feel a bit sorry for him, I was laughing out loud when I read this. I always carry my wallet with my ID with me, especially when I'm in another country.
 
Re: David Tennant gets US Pilot

I wonder what his Chicago accent will be like?

I'm sure if he does one, it'll just be one of those flat, generic American accents like Hugh Laurie does (or like Ryan did on Bionic Woman).

I really hope he doesn't have to though. I'm so used to his normal accent it would just be weird and distracting hearing something else.

:guffaw:because Tennant always uses his real accent in Doctor who

Um, I do realize that. I was referring to his scottish accent (which honestly isn't that different from his "english" one).
 
For those interested, someone posted an excerpt from a radio play/book/? that David did which showcases his American accent. I don't know how old this is, though, so who knows if his accent is better by now or not. I don't think it's too bad, though there were a couple bits where it slipped. But then again, if you go back and watch the first few episodes of House, you can tell how much better Hugh Laurie has gotten at doing the American accent from then to now.

I find it funny that in House Hugh Laurie has to do an American accent, but Jesse Spencer gets to stick with his Australian Accent.
 
That's probably because Hugh's audition tape was done in an American accent and the producer mistakenly thought he actually WAS American.

I heard David talked a tidbit about "Rex" on a talk show he filmed... yesterday? But apparently he didn't say anything about what accent he'd be using.
