Davison and Matt Smith were young to play the Doctor but they did it with gusto. I don't think the age matters as long as the person has the acting chops to convey the "but actually really old"ness that the Doctor has going on.

I'm still following my belief that it should be a prequel and that older actors should be considered.
Evanna Lynch could play a companion.
More Buscemi at http://forum.reelsociety.com/I just have to point out that Davison didn't play "old". He could act as if he was older than he really was (it was a bit of a shock when I found out he was 29 when he took on the role), but Smith is the only one of the "young" Doctors that really acts like an old man.

It's not over. Not yet.Dude was in a wheelchair for a good chunk of his first episode. Or floating in a box. Dude was old.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersPFB, sorry if I came across like I was mad at you for not reading the other thread. Of course you're welcome to follow or not follow whichever threads you like and, as far as I'm concerned, hop in whenever you like. But if you look at the other thread, you'll see that certain people tend to throw a fit when someone suggests a female doctor.
Respect the Red Right Hand
...In the face of these women being suggested, I feel a lot better about suggesting Robin Williams.
(gives up trying to take the entire concept of a Doctor Who film seriously)
Looking for some stories?The original series is done in a format where they can easily be edited into feature films (the DVD's are even designed this way). A film version wouldn't be that hard.
More Buscemi at http://forum.reelsociety.com/I'd love to see Tom Waits as The Doctor, mainly because I think the raspy-vagabond thing he has would work well for the Doctor
I'm not. I'm happy.
Hollywood just shouldn't be allowed to touch Doctor Who, IMO.
Looking for some stories?Dwarves...FUCK YEAH!
*ahem*
Hm. Maybe the Doctor could be a dwarf?

^ Come now. Be more imaginative.
How about that chick who played Luna Lovegood? (oh wait. Is she really British? Eh, who cares.)
