Richard Armitage off Robin Hood? yeah... i said about him on a different fourm t'other day...
Your short list for The 11th Doctor
- Thread starter The
- Start date
Well, as I said here, I'd quite like Richard Coyle from Coupling. I think he'd be a marvelously impish and slightly less sane Doctor, which would make a nice change from both Eccleston and Tennant, and he's got the range to play a lot of depth in the character. I'd love Eddie Izzard in "serious actor" mode, but I doubt whether they could get him. And I'd love Bill Nighy, but that (along with David Warner) seems destined never to happen (at least on video - the David Warner "Unbound" audio is great).
Paul Kaye (aka Dennis Pennis)
Marc Warren (from Hustle)
Paterson Joseph (has been in lots of Brit sci-fi already)

Paul Bettany.
Is that the guy who plays Gisbourne? Isn't he moving to Spooks now?
yes, the bloke who plays Guy. dunno about him joining Spooks...
I think Chris Barrie might make a good Doctor. (Rimmer from Red Dwarf.)
Richard Coyle is such a hottie!

Yes he is going to be in series 7 of spooks.
I thought Rickman was being looked at for the Master (or was he called Mandrake or something in that script?) for that film - still, the Tom Baker and K9 cameo might have been fun.
James Nesbitt
Eddie Izzard (he can do wacky and deadly serious, trust me)
Jarvis Cocker (well, that's the Tenth Doctor really)
Stephen Fry
Hugh Laurie (never gonna happen)
Steve Coogan
Adrian Edmondson

You know...given I can't see Vyvyan as The Doctor, I also haven't seen him in anything else ever. So, does he have that kind of range? Is there something I should watch to get a better sense of his abilities as The Doc? I ask because the idea is so bizarre to me that it might work...
I definitely think he can carry it. He can do serious acting, it's just that we rarely ever see it. He did a docudrama about the Chernobyl disaster in which his performance was pretty well received:
And he's been in Holby City.

Holby City is a spin off from Casualty. Think ER but British, with barely a 100th of the budget and shot on video.
The docudrama was called Surviving Disaster but I'm not sure if it ever even got a dvd release.

Thought so. Didn't watch much of Robin Hood but he did seem to be more interesting than the drip playing Robin...will be interesting to see if he can do more than a pantomime villain
he was good in Vicar of Dib as well, showed some good comedic skill...
That's awesome! I want my Hugh Laurie run NOW!

Yeah, I was going to say he married the Vicar of Dibley. Did pretty well there.
Ive been with EMH for Eddie Izzard for a while now.
Now, if John Simm hadnt already played The Master, i would love hi as The Doctor, his performance in a shit story was great, just a shame i doubt hell be cast as The Doctor.
Bill Nighy would be sooo coool with a hint of sarcasm and a bit of moodyness.
I like the idea of James Callis though, thats a good one.
I also would like to see Rufus Sewell though, he'd just nail it.
