Sean Pertwee's Halloween costume

He even got the ring!
I wonder whether he's wearing one of the costumes his father kept for the convention circuit or whether he bought the clothes new.
Not the same - it was purple - I think that went to auction a long time ago.
The red lined cape was only part of his first season costume. Though the actual cape Jon wore to his first publicity was his own grandfathers!
Despite the family resemblance I used to be of the opinion that Sean was such a different type of actor to his dad that it would actually be hard to find an actor less suited to portray the 3rd Doctor unless he was reinvented as the had bastard cockney Pertwe Jr. has basically made his stock in trade.
But when I saw the Poirot he was was in I was surprised. He's playing posh and obviously his mental image of "Posh" is his dad as he's basically doing a full on impression that actually kind of works (even if he actually manages to be a good deal camper).

Kid's got great taste- it's hard to beat #3.
Quite dashing, like his father.
Honestly, I'm surprised he did this considering how much he says he doesn't want to portray his father. Yeah, I know dressing up for Halloween isn't the same as professionally playing the role, but I still found it a bit surprising.
Maybe he did it for his son?
I found out about 15 years ago that Sean's dad was Jon Pertwee, and I was absolutely surprised. But I only found that out from looking up his already-then considerable resume, and gave no thought to the name. He refuses to play Three, and I respect that, as he's a guy who's forged his own career. Imo, he only lives in the shadow of his father to Whovians, and he's built his own name and rep, playing in big blockbusters to quiet indies to regular TV shows for years now. He seems like just a really cool guy all around.
He should play 13!
There's this one too;

I'd say that's a photoshop job on a scene from Gotham.
I think you're right, looking at it again. Still, it does emphasize the likeness.
He has indicated that he'd be interested in playing a new incarnation, but not Three.
Of course, people can change their minds.
Only revisiting a few of the old favorites right?
Pertwee could echo a younger 3rd doctor in the 14th generation
