I want Idris Elba so I never ever have to hear someone suggest him ever again. Hopefully he'll be typecast as well and never gets a prominent role in anything ever again.
Predict who will be cast as the 12th Doctor
- Thread starter Candlelight
- Start date
I already have one crush on the show. Don't make me have two!
EMMA WATSON!! YES!!! MAKE IT SO!!!
You know, it's been awhile since we had someone with the last name of Baker in the role of the Doctor. Are there any 30-ish male actors out there right now from a Baker family?
I think he's older than that but Simon Baker is not un-Doctorish.
never seen Helena Bonham Carter spelled that way before
Sounds like she's posting with a stuffy nose.
I've already mentioned Lucy Liemann in the other thread. If it is going to be a woman, I'd like it to be her. 
So is Ardal O'Hanlon. Maybe he might be cast as the next Doctor.

Not that I needed convincing (obviously) but damn that makes me want Alexander Siddig in the role more than ever. More so than Eddie Izzard!Alexander Siddig. I think he’d be fantastic, he manages to be quintessentially English whilst also embracing his heritage. At 47 he might be a shade too old, but (despite what Garak said) he still retains his boyish charm, and it would be nice to see a suave Doctor again, certainly he’d be very different from 9, 10 and 11, which is ideally what we need. He’s a good enough actor to play the light and dark of the character, and I could see him being both playful and manipulative, plus I think it’d be funny if the Doctor had a beard rather than the Master this time
He'd be great! But he has a burgeoning film career, so....
We had a Scottish doctor just a few years ago
What I want, first and foremost, is the best person for the job, and if that’s a 35 year old white English guy so be it, and if it’s a 45 year old South Asian Englishwoman, so be it, and if it’s a 50 year old black Welshman so be it. I’m less interested in their skin colour, age, accent or gender than their ability to play the Doctor. Everyone knows I championed Paterson Joseph for a long time, but I didn’t champion him cos he was black, I championed him because I thought he’d make a great Doctor.
I don't really get the Mark Srong thing, plus he's in so much stuff he's at risk of just being the generic go-too gruff Brit.
Putting aside what I'd actually be interested in seeing in favour of what will actually happen it'll be a white, British Male, late 20's to late 40's. It will not be someone very well known (which knocks out most of the suggestions people make). Rather it will be someone early in the career with strong but as yet unfulfilled potential or someone who has been around for a long time, had some aclaim for their work but never really hit the Big Time. (AKA Ben Daniels.)
And just as aside (and not aimed at this forum byt the internet in general) if I read one more person going "I'm not racist/sexist but there shouldn't be a non-white/female Doctor because there hasn't been in the past* or because the Daily Mail/BNP would get worked up about it**" I may go on a murderous rampage. (Or just Tut-Tut louldly to myself.)
*Where would the World be if we only did things that had been done in the past?
** How is this a bad thing?

Not sure what to make of this Tweet. Not sure why people working for Russell Howard's Good News would have seen the new Doctor and, if they did, why they would be tweeting about it. Could be legit, could be an attempt to drum up some free publicity.
Given the format of the show I’m guessing it’s just that Russ will do a sketch where the Doctor regenerates into someone/thing comedic like a Dalek.
Ah, okay. I'd never even heard of the show until today.
Steve Hogarth.... Yes, I know he's busy fronting Marillion, but I really could see him in the role...
Don't know if he's ever acted much in a serious capacity, but he certainly has the personality to fit the role. He's in his 50's but has an amazingly young heart and soul...
