Your short list for The 11th Doctor

You know, every time I look at him nowadays, I think to myself, "Nicolas Cage...If someone has already suggested this one, apologies for missing it. But, I think Henry Ian Cusick (Desmond Hume on Lost) could pull a mixture of older-but-younger for the 11th Doctor...
"
Going back to comedy actors who could do something serious, I also wonder what Paul Whitehouse's Doctor might look like...
Good choice, id never even considered it.
I see a young Dustin Hoffman in him to be honest.
Just thought James may he could go round calling the master unsufferable oaf.
I think that Alan Davies would be a good 11th Doctor.
In his role as Jonathan Creek he played a similar role, only without the travelling...

I agree, the only trouble is that he's too well associated with being Jonathan Creek now, I don't think he could pull off enough of a change in his persona to be a Doctor who was different enough from Creek.
I think Alan Davies and Henry Ian Cusick are both good choices.
Ross Kemp.
You KNOW it makes... no sense.

Besides, he already exists in the Doctor Who universe as part of the EastEnders cast, and also Grant Mitchell in Dimensions in Time. Colin Baker as Maxil was one thing, but such casting would destroy the entire fabric of space and time!
I had a sudden urge the other day to see Nick Frost as the Doctor. Overweight, not at all attractive, but potentially brilliant.

Alan Davies (who I adore) would make a great Doctor. I also like Colin Salmon, Alexander Siddig, James Nesbitt and Chiwetel Ejiofor.
I would like the next Doctor to be a little bit older, a little more mysterious, and maybe a bit darker--unpredictable but not manic.

Yeah, that's what I'd like to see as well. Both Eccleston and Tennant can do the "Intense, quiet gravitas" very well (especially Eccleston), but the manic shouty stuff could do with being dropped, IMO.
Not that it'll happen, but I live in hope.

Well in fairness Tennant has toned it down...a bit! And he seems to gurn less as well--Thank God!!
Could be interesting. But frankly, after Hot Fuzz, I think there should be a decree that Pegg & Frost always come as a package deal, like the classic comedy duos of Abbott & Costello and Laurel & Hardy.
^Oh dear... No Nick Frost in Trek XI. Does that mean it will be a FLOP? 
^No more so than Mission Impossible III.
Cannon and Ball?!?!

Rich Johnston says the 11th Doctor might be Paterson Joseph.
