Who Should Play The Doctor?


Peter Capaldi is entering his fourth year as The Doctor and has announced it will be his last one. It's time once again to start speculating which actor (or actress) could play the next incarnation of the Time Lord. Here are my picks:

Ioan Gruffudd

Ioan Gruffudd ("Fantastic Four", "Forever") is my first pick. He's from Cardiff, Wales, where "Doctor Who" is produced. Plus, he has experience playing an immortal doctor.

Hayley Atwell

Hayley Atwell ("Captain America: The First Avenger", "Agent Carter") is my and many fans' choice to play the first female incarnation of The Doctor. Plus, she's already stated "I'd like to BE Doctor Who"[1] (but who doesn't?).

Rebecca Mader

Rebecca Mader ("LOST", "Once Upon A Time") usually plays villains, but I would like to see her play The Doctor.

David Harewood

David Harewood ("Doctor Who: The End of Time", "Supergirl") has previously played a villain on "Doctor Who", but he is currently playing an alien that is the last of his species.

David Tennant

David Tennant ("Doctor Who", "Broadchurch") has already played The Doctor once, but in "The Day of the Doctor" the Curator hinted that The Doctor might revisit a few of his old faces in the future. With "Broadchurch" creator Chris Chibnall taking over as "Doctor Who" showrunner, it is possible that Tennant could be cast in the role again. Since the 10th Doctor is my favorite, I hope to see him in the role once more!!!

Bruce Campbell

Bruce Campbell ("Burn Notice", "Ash vs. the Evil Dead") posted on his Facebook page last April Fool's Day that he was going to be the first American to play The Doctor.
