Either that or Moffat's fem!Doctor would be River Song 2.0. If we're gonna have a female Doctor, I want it to be under a female showrunner with experience in gender identity matters. Chiwetel Ejiofor, on the other hand, would make an AMAZING Doctor, I'm thinking something like a mix of Three, Five, and Seven.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272431515083873489.post-14497805464386999452012-04-25T19:30:37.847+01:002012-04-25T19:30:37.847+01:00It would seem to me that the issue is not one of t...It would seem to me that the issue is not one of tokenism but of status quo. Up to now, the Doctor has always been played by White actors. If there is a Black actor that would be suitable for the role then that actor should play the role, race or gender be damned. <br /><br />Personally I think that we should kill two birds with one stone and have a Black female actor (precident has already been set, as it were, with Mels/River Song). I nominate Nina Sosanya who played Trish in Doctor Who ("Fear Her") and Bellino (opposite David Tennent) in Casanova.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03299818121144182146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272431515083873489.post-74423824291093660052011-05-19T17:29:24.211+01:002011-05-19T17:29:24.211+01:00mmmm....no doubt he is a superb actor, one who mos...mmmm....no doubt he is a superb actor, one who most definately has the ability, however what is the need to change the doctors skin colour?....to me it smacks of tokenism...."oh lets have a black doctor because we can" The world of the politically correct has now reached the furthest corners of the cosmos?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272431515083873489.post-80114295937070846472011-05-16T21:05:37.223+01:002011-05-16T21:05:37.223+01:00This makes me happy.

As the actors have gotten younger over the entire course of the show it would be great if an actress such as Bonnie Wright received the part.

He has an extensive and impressive film record appearing in such films as "American Gangster" and "Children of Men." Check out his work, Chiwetel is an impressive actor. I can actually see him as the Doctor.<br /><br />Would he play him? I have my doubts, but I wouldn't have a problem if he did.Joe Schmoenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272431515083873489.post-89765386686421797662011-05-15T23:49:34.445+01:002011-05-15T23:49:34.445+01:00Never heard of him.

If they do change color with the Doctor my preference would be Adrian Lester of Hustle, Lenny Henry the guy who plays Clyde in The Sarah Jane Adventures, or Alfie Enoch from the Harry Potter films (whose dad played Ian Chesterton in the original series).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272431515083873489.post-25203885247912151342011-05-15T23:05:24.561+01:002011-05-15T23:05:24.561+01:00When all the speculation about who DT's replac...When all the speculation about who DT's replacement would be was going on, I was really hoping that Chiwetel would get the gig... very happy Matt did get it as he's been excellent, and also very happy that Chewie's been forced to throw his fez into the ring for 12 :)Bennoreply@blogger.com
