30 Days of Who meme, day 29: who you think should be the next Doctor

[nonelvis]

As with many of the entries for this meme, I can't narrow it down to one.



Chiwetel Ejiofor, who was rumored to be in play for Eleven. I've liked him in everything I've seen him in.

Eddie Izzard, whose name has also been tossed about as a potential future Doctor. He's a great actor, too, not just a comedian.

Helen Mirren, because while I haven't always been on the female!Doctor train, I could get used to the idea, especially if she got cast in the role.

I love Chiwetel Ejiofor (Eddie Izzard and Helen Mirren, too) more than there are words to tell it.

I am new to Doctor Who (just started watching with this season), but I think these are all excellent suggestions.

[nonelvis]

One of the reasons I want to see Salt (besides obvious camp action flick value) is that Ejiofor is in it. Did you see Endgame when it aired on PBS? He was terrific in it, and I think it's up for an Emmy now.

I did not see it, but will definitely track it down so that I can!

If they got Helen Mirren, they'd have to get the BBC TV equivalent of an R rating.

She'd be like, "Cast Chuck Norris as The Master -- I'll kick his ass all the way out of Time."

I had Paul Bettany firmly fixed in my mind as the man for Eleven, thanks to a fic someone wrote ages ago, but given the Eleven we've got now, I don't think we need Paul Bettany for Twelve. Eddie Izzard would take a lot of getting used to but would do it well given that, I reckon.

[nonelvis]

Ooh, Paul Bettany: good choice. And I think I know exactly what fic you're talking about, too: is it I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor?

[stick-poker.livejournal.com]

That's the one. Dear me, I just had to read that again as a result and I'd forgotten just how good it was.

I would get on any "train" for Helen Mirren, but then I'm a dirty, dirty boy.

[nonelvis]

Who wouldn't?

Have you seen any of the trailers for RED? HELEN MIRREN WITH A MACHINE GUN! I can't wait.

I was talking about the amazingness of Chiwetel Ejiofor the other day, and no one knew who I was going on about.

Have you seen him as a drag queen in Kinky Boots? Amazing performance. Plus, he looks good in a suit, as evidenced in Love Actually. :)

[nonelvis]

Kinky Boots was lightweight, but Ejiofor was amazing in it. Haven't seen Love Actually yet!

Kinky Boots was lightweight, but Ejiofor was amazing in it. The movie was rather crappy, but he made every scene he was in worthwhile. I saw it shortly after seeing Dirty Pretty Things and remember thinking that he could do anything. So talented.

His part in Love Actually is super small, but he looks so pretty in it.
