Well folks, the new Doctor Who has been cast. It's apparently this guy. No, its not a woman or a black man, sorry. I dunno why everyone seems to think the BBC would/should take such a risk as to go against decades of tradition and cast something outside the Doctor's norm (white and male). As a Timelord it makes no sense for him to cling to one race repeatedly, this I agree with. But as a company not wanting to rock the boat too much it makes sense. If Doctor Who isn't broken why fix it?
The new guy doesn't look like much, he really isn't terribly photogenic in the photo-still sense. It looks like hes got one good side and rest of his face is odd angles. I mean no insult to the guy, there is enough of that going on right now. I merely over analyze faces and I like faces more if there's some interest there, gives them character, makes them stand out. So he looks good but in a very unusual sense that works very well for this role.
But you really need to see the guy actually moving and talking to get a good idea of how hes going to be in the show. He actually has lots of little quirks and such that would probably translate to his performances. True he doesn't have his character built yet or anything but I'm optimistic.
