Actor Matt Smith Will Be 11th Doctor Who

Posted by kdawson on from the inheritor-of-the-scarf dept.

Jerry Smith was among a large number of readers letting us know that the 11th Doctor Who has been named. It's Matt Smith, 26, who will be the youngest actor to play the time-traveling Doctor. The head of drama at BBC Wales said this about Smith's audition: "It was abundantly clear that he had that 'Doctor-ness' about him. You are either the Doctor or you are not."

    It was abundantly clear that he had that 'Doctor-ness' about him

    He certainly does look weird, in a sickly, pervy way. Perhaps that will translate into an intriguing character, if they intend to write some episodes involving sex with corpses.

    And by the way anyone considering they have cast a pretty boy might want to take a look at the guy. My mom said politely when she said his face has "character". Me I think he looks like the guy in the film "Mask".

    Don't forget that he is a Brit. Different (lower) prettyboy standards.
