with another regeneration always just
around the corner these are the actors
who should really try out for a role in
the TARDIS last I know where I’m going
where I’ve always been going
Oh welcome to watchmojo.com and today
we’re counting down our picks for the
top 10 actors who should play Doctor Who
no Kyra I’ve got Roblin excuse me I’m
trying to concentrate over here and will
you watch your ruddy language my ears
are not a toilet for this list we’ve
looked at any actor who hasn’t yet
played the title character in Doctor Who
and selected those that we feel would
play the role best I’m taking a shortcut
before number 10 Tom Hiddleston see you
at Hell what’s that a name you’d
normally associate with on screen
villainy Tom Hiddleston would make for a
slightly darker time traveler than other
candidates but that should only be a
good thing I like to come to the source
besides the mutual jeopardy makes me
feel safer best known for his role as
Loki in the Thor films I could have got
it broader Hiddleston’s gotten to grips
with futuristic other worlds before now
so a spin in the TARDIS should suit him
I thought you said he knew how to fly
this thing I said how hard could a
notable charming man as well he’s got
the good guy bad guy balance nails
making him prime Doctor Who material you
try and key in Adam you drank
number nine Patterson Joseph you know
Barbara went home crying hey I’m just a
doctor I didn’t make the needle shot
it’s not a wig Alan that’s actually her
hair well known for his roles in TV
comedy and drama as well as for parts
within the Royal Shakespeare Company
Paterson Joseph is an exceptionally
well-rounded actor you really are a
bitter loser on here mister no logo mr.
work a day for world peace an especially
expressive performer it isn’t difficult
to see elements of the doctor in some of
Joseph’s previous roles they say they
look forward to hearing from us in the
future they look forward to it now what
about that doesn’t spell to you serious
interest as egotistical almost eccentric
business brainstorm er Alan Johnson in
Peep Show should take 45 minutes I’m
done in ten stick that up into Joe
Joseph’s ability to reel in his audience
is most apparent this is the sort of guy
who’d have his Daleks on toast just have
one question for you
are you a pathetic worthless Punk number
eight Richard I awadhi
hello my name is Richard Ayoade II or at
least I think that’s how it’s pronounced
a stylistically unique actor with a
geeky gadgety vibe the Richard Iowa D
Way would appear a perfect fit for
Doctor Who
Roy cannava net with you it’s about
private man’s business
surely boys will understand finding fame
as computer genius Maurice Moss in the
IT Crowd it seems but a natural step up
that the actor should swap the disk
drive for time-bending hyperdrives
usually when I try something new it ends
up a disaster
Iowa DS at times notably quirky fashion
sense would also fit while his trademark
hairstyle would certainly set him apart
I want to go back to being weird
I like being weird where’s all I’ve got
that on a sweet style wine apart from
anything else Iowa he’s funny and that’s
vital when traveling an infinite
universe so before a do is in any way
furthered let’s tool up and get down to
business
number seven Robert Carlyle gentlemen
the lunchbox Oz London a Scottish actor
who found fame with cult hits like
Trainspotting and The Full Monty
Robert Carlyle has gotten quite the
reputation for fantasy film work as he’s
gotten older I’ve told you magic yes
power in Stargate Universe he plays dr.
Nicholas rush a scientific genius driven
by the need to explore the life-support
system is failing and we should probably
do something about nothing Weiland once
upon a time he plays Rumpelstiltskin an
admittedly evil character but a magical
match for anybody nonetheless but a man
is running out of time
he didn’t seem to be much of a hurry
combined elements of each of those roles
and sprinkled Carlisle’s class into the
proceedings and bingo perfect dr. magic
has become a crutch that I can’t walk
with that number six Tilda Swinton same
no difference to do with the doctor
never having been female before some
fans are sure to view Tilda Swinton’s
credentials for the role with skepticism
if I were a man you however credentials
she does have and in abundance nothing
bigger than a knife’s blade separates
melancholy perpetually
well known for succeeding in both
mainstream cinema and arthouse roles
Swinton has an undeniably unique style
if it’s a war once it’s a war he shal
gay she’s cruel in the chronicles of
narnia murky in the grand budapest hotel
and she’s confused gender roles before
now with Orlando they’re not like us
fellows Swinton’s appointment would
raise eyebrows but the applause ITAT
earned would raise the roof I suppose
you are not a total walleston
number five Ben Kingsley if you’ve ever
wondered where your dreams come from you
look around a major major player in the
Hollywood game should Doctor Who
producers ever cast Oscar winner Ben
Kingsley in their lead role then the
phrase stroke of genius could well
flitter through reviews though this is
life an enigmatic Englishman in himself
Kingsley could be made for the role I’m
sorry he’s broken no he’s not he’s got a
commanding style a distinctive voice a
wide range Jessup Roger
plus his baldness would serve as a
playful nod back to the Christopher
Eccleston era I want to change their
minds not kill them for weaknesses we
all possess a sonic screwdriver would
fit just perfectly in Ben Kingsley’s
back pockets happy endings only happen
in the movies
number four Rupert Grint oh bloody hell
every guy if ever there’s a stage on
which Ron Weasley could step out from
Harry Potter’s shadow then it’s this one
regard to that Ari I’m gonna
best known for playing the boy Wizards
best made since Hogwarts Rupert Grint
has stylized himself as both uber trendy
and fairly mysterious so is that your
real hair color you just dye it that way
it was – no an achievement in itself
considering the mega mainstream nature
of the Potter films Rindge would bring
grandeur to the Doctor Who role but also
edginess vision number just could they
decide to go give me a children with
titles like Cherry Bomb and CBGB already
in his back catalogue Grinch doctor
would be brilliantly down with the kids
I’m impressed with the youth of
Cleveland oh you should we wanna lot of
losers number three Simon Pegg why I
just I don’t understand he said I’ve
done fast becoming a legend of British
comedy Simon Pegg also boasts an
affectionate established fanbase within
the geek community the notion of
transwarp beaming is like trying to hit
a bullet with a smaller bullet whilst
wearing a blindfold riding a horse a
comic-con regular and star of Star Trek
Pegg has also played a semi major role
in Doctor Who before as the editor in
series one of the revived show you won’t
have fun let me out of these manacles
you’ll find out how much fun an always
tough is me a villain then an older
wiser probably wackier Pegg could make a
perfect hero now as Bertrand Russell
once said the only thing that will
redeem mankind is cooperation I think we
can all appreciate the relevance of that
now the actor has routinely ruled
himself out for each regeneration
however but here’s hoping he rules
himself in for the next one well you’ll
never get your hands on it I’ll die
first dial you like I don’t need you
I’ve got the key number two Rowan
Atkinson brace yourself
an undisputed champion of British TV and
comedy many have been scratching their
heads as to why Rowan Atkinson doesn’t
already have Doctor Who listed on his
filmography
King yourself I see yes it’s the only
way I can be short of intelligent
conversations combine the chaotic Johnny
English with the era hoppin Black Adder
with the sensationally slapstick mr.
bean and surely somewhere somehow you
get a Time Lord for you my lord I like
the cut of your jib yeah fellow me lad
what more proof that he’d be a good
doctor
check out his parody in the sketch for
the UK charity comic relief naturally I
anticipated your journey back in time
and so I travelled slightly further back
and bribed the architect first as Doctor
Who Atkinson would likely laugh in the
face of danger and if he doesn’t then we
would I haven’t read Simon how exactly
were you going to administrator before
we unveil our number one pick here are
some honorable mentions don’t you
understand
the enemy thinks you have the ring he’s
going to be looking for your pip
they have to get you out of here I ask
for so little
just let me rule and you can have
everything that you want if you could go
in a time machine when you go there you
see people always say oh I’d go here
there and everywhere but you wouldn’t go
back I’ve got to see myself this is kind
of high up dance stuff that really made
me want to become a cop missing girl
found out her apartment its CID renlund
pinching number one
Martin Freeman come on Arthur don’t be
like that
well what am I supposed to be like
Martin Freeman’s filmic repertoire gets
better by the year but wouldn’t it be
grand if he could add Timelord to his
growing list of great parts I can’t just
go running off into the blue I am a
Baggins of Bag End the star of The
Hobbit might have a better chance than
most of getting cast as well glad to see
you pol Shiloh what we’ve murder is
running rise it my way
he’s already familiar with the Doctor
Who crew through his work alongside
Steven Moffat on Sherlock how you get
your kicks isn’t you risk your life to
prove you’re clever why would I do that
cuz you’re gonna do an actor clearly
able to combine cute with courageous
we’ve searched through all of time and
space and there’s no one better suited
to fighting Cybermen or any other alien
antagonist all my life I’ve had this
strange feeling that there’s something
big and sinister going on in the world
no that’s perfectly normal paranoid do
you agree with our list as far as the
actual jobs concerns piece of piss and
monkey could do it which actor did we
overlook it’s obvious isn’t it it’s not
obvious to me big odd what is it like in
your funny little brains it must be so
boring for more time-traveling top 10s
published every day be sure to subscribe

moment that I would fall for such a
steaming pile of old baloney
