The 11 Doctors special! Look-alikes of Who?

I remember seeing a pic of him on some other forum younger without a shirt and with a 70s porno moustache. I was going to post it in response, but I can't find it. Worse still, I'm going to have the fact I searched for "Colin Baker topless" and "Colin Baker young shirtless" on Google Images in my internet history for the next 4 weeks.

I thought Colin Baker was a good doctor sans the wardrobe...

We could have George Lucas go back and CG that nifty blue costume onto Six.

The Sixth Doctor: Special Edition!

You should make this your signature.

Done.

Touche!

I keep trying to forget that picture exists.

And Bones... clear your internet history.

A fine figure of a man, surely.

^ To be fair, had he dressed like that for DW, he still wouldn't have looked as ridiculous as he did in the costume he actually did wear ...

I don't see why everyone has a problem with recasting. It's like saying the Shat should have been in Trek XI. I mean, I get your point, the actor had a lot of bearing on forming the character, but come on. That smacks of the rabid fandom we should be able to rise above.

 

[Stevil2001]

The difference, for me at least, is that Doctor Who has an established mechanism for recasting. If I want to watch someone new playing the Doctor, I'll cast them as a new incarnation. If I want to watch an old Doctor, I'll pull out a DVD. Why would I want to cast a new actor and constrain them by forcing them to mimic an old Doctor? To extend your analogy, it's like saying Chris Pine should have spent all of the new film doing a William Shatner impression. What would be the point of that?
