What Sci-Fi Veterans Do You Want to See?

[TedShatner10]

What recognizable faces from other sci-fi franchises would you like to see? Notable sci-fi/fantasy veterans who've turned up on NuWho have been Anna-Louise Plowman, Anthony Head, Silas Carson, and Hugh Quarshie. In the next few years I won't be surprised if Colm Meaney, Alex Siddig, Peter Wingfield, and Patrick Stewart guest starred on Doctor Who or its spin-offs.

I'd prefer not to see Stargate-style insular casting on Doctor Who.

Except for Patrick Stewart.

But if Ben Browder shows up, I'll stab Steven Moffat in the face with lasers.

Brent Spiner, James Callis, Patrick Stewart, Jolene Blaylock, Scott Bakula, Colm Meaney, and Michael Emerson ("Ben Linus" from LOST). And I'll take Emerson, Stewart, Callis, or Spiner as incarnations of The Master, please...

Hey man, Browder is practically another Captain Jack waiting to happen. He has the perfect "generic" American accent...

Come to think of it, I'd love Claudia Black as Romana, and Michael Shanks as....I don't know...on the show?

I'd love to see Patrick Stewart, too. Also, Scott Bakula and Nathan Fillion would be great. The latter would fit pretty well into the Whoniverse as his Malcom Reynolds character, anyway.


By the way, love your avatar, The.

Paul Darrow

Thanks and back-at-ya'!

Paul Darrow

First person who came to my mind, too. I'd also love to see Jacqueline Pearce, too.

James Callis as The Master has serious appeal, too.

 

[Cky]

I'd love to see Adam Baldwin (Firefly, Serenity). I think his cockyness could bounce well off the Doc.

 

[TedShatner10]

How about Peter Jurasik?

 

[Count Zero]

Paul Darrow

First person who came to my mind, too.

I thought about him, too, but then figured he was too old, now. I forgot to mention Alan Rickman.

Bill Mumy, Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny, Lani Tupu.

Depends what role you're thinking of, surely? Bernard Cribbins is far more elderly.

 

[Count Zero]

I was under the impression that he had sort of retired as an actor.

Also, when I think of him I think of him as the young Paul Darrow, at the age he played Avon. I have no idea what kind of type he plays at his current age.

 

[Davros]

William Russell

 

[wamdue]

Paul McGann?

 

[WillsBabe]

I was under the impression that he had sort of retired as an actor.

Oh, I hadn't realised he'd retired. I think he still does voice work, though.

How about Peter Jurasik?

Did one of the audios, and was rubbish in it.

I'd be utterly amazed if Patrick Stewart (and Ian McKellen for that matter) didn't turn up at some point.

I would be moderately surprised if James Callis, Sid, and Gillian Anderson never showed up in it.

 

[wamdue]

Gillian Anderson would make a great one shot companion

Why, what was his script like? And who the hell is Sid?
