I think the rumour that Brian Blessed was considered for the role was started by Brian - although it's widely quoted I think it's dubious. Valentine Dyall, the actor who went on to play the Black Guardian, was approached to play the first Doctor's successor, as was Michael Horden. Graham Crowden & Michael Bentine turned down the role of the 4th Doctor. Andrew Sachs turned down the role of the 7th Doctor. Peter Capaldi was invited to audition for the 1996 TV movie, but declined.

The role of the Doctor is very different to other drama roles. It requires the actor to play an idealised version of themselves and many actors would be bad at doing this.

It takes something special to play the Doctor.

Brian Blessed worked on The Avengers (created by Doctor Who's creator, Sydney Newman), Blake's 7 (created by the Daleks' creator, Terry Nation), Peppa Pig (featuring David Graham, David Mitchell and Alexander Armstrong, the latter of whom was Mr Smith in The Sarah Jane Adventures) and Wizards Vs. Aliens (created by Russell T. Davies, Doctor Who's showrunner from 2005-2010). 5. Geoffrey Byaldon was in Scrooge (1970) alongside Mary Peach and Derek Francis. 4. Bill Nighy was in the 2005 film version of The Magic Roundabout with Tom Baker and Kylie Minogue. The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise has also featured Kevin McNally and Sylvester McCoy was initially considered to work on it. 2.

He's a good actor, I just think he'd be too similar to Matt Smith to really take the show in a new direction. It's been a success (albeit a mixed one) since the revival in part because all 5 Doctors thus far have been distinct adaptions of the character that built on the ones beforehand. Well, JW's Doctor could build on her predecessors if the writing were more consistent and Chibnall had the first clue of how to write a decent season-arching story arc.

JMS of Babylon 5 fame has approached the producers several times but been turned down because he is a yank, I think the three actors named were spitballed by bigwigs but never actually offered the role

The non-Brits rule was a BBC rule. The BBC thought that Doctor Who was dead, so they leased the rights to the character to a Canadian company to produce the movie. Therefore, the BBC rule had no effect.

Liam Neeson or, maybe, Martin Clunes (Doc Martin, Ha!)? I apologise to you lot, but as an American "Whovian" since the 60s (I'm 66yo), I must insist Dr. Who be played by a British actor. Anything else is not canon, and is just...wrong! Dr. Who has been great as is because it just works. As it is said here: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" God, I love Rose Tyler!!!🥰😍❤

You probably wont read this but these are the connections ive found regarding me and a reoccuring theme of "aliens" "space" and "time travel" SO FAR: Im what you call an indigo child,i was born sick and premature on september 8 1985 a blonde straight haired fat baby. I was kind of a weird kid,adults trusted me and i had a strong sense of intuition.In my childhood there is a theme of "aliens" space" and time travel".I was obsessed with et (alien) and then i saw terminator 2 in theaters and i was hooked (time travel).When i was 8 i got really into astronomy and meteors and asked my dad for a telescope (space). Then i learned about astrology (space).When i was 7 or so i used to wear a labcoat around the neighborhood and say i was a scientist. (space?lol)I loved a movie called weird science and the character gary had curly hair and i really wanted curly hair so in the 6th grade it darkens and starts to curl.Anyway these are minor things heres the meat of it.So my friends kept telling me to watch this show doctor who but i refused because it was british. It kept coming up and one day i go to a convention in my homestate of oklahoma.I see the tardis which is a police phone box and i see ths interesting old man with a question mark umbrella and i see that NO ONE is talking to him.I feel kind of bad for him and he seemed pretty interesting so i go up to him and say "so whats this doctor who all about?" he excitedly gasps and explains this story of a time traveling alien that changes his appearance when he dies but is still the same person,he is thousands of years old and he goes around helping people and saving them.He even said that i looked like the 10th doctor who would be my favorite.Anyway i love the show and decide ive never related to a character more and decide i should play him so i write this season and i have some cool things in it like meeting edison and tesla and the return of old villains.As i research some of teslas work i come across this ufo that uses an electron accumulator to raise its magnetic vibrational frequency to match its environment and achieve zero point and begin to teleport.Ralph ring explains that the craft is flown telepathically and that it is to be regarded to as a friend as in its an alive energy field much like doctor whos tardis.Ralph explains that they went back in time and he couldnt immediately remember the journey as our brains have trouble retaining it so memories are fragmented.The maker of this crafts name is otis and my middle name is odis.Otis winds up taking a dummy craft of the otcx-1 to oklahoma my home state.In the 2005 reboot of doctor who "oklahoma " is said 3 times.The very first episode of doctor who aired november 23rd 1963 a day after the jfk assasination.My grandpa was given a wallet by his daughter from a family friend who suggested she het it and went and had the wallet made which grandpa odis wore till he died. The family friend was jack ruby,the man who shot lee harvey oswald in the jfk assasination.Two minor mentions of jfk and time travel are in the unbrella academy and 11-22-63 by stephen king.The 7th doctor (th interesting old man i met in oklahoma who explained doctor who to me) first premeired on september 7th 1987 a day before my 2nd birthday. So one day on easter 2019 i ask god to show me a sign and i asked if i could be doctor who if i worked hard enough. An orange orb appeared moving other worldly but i dismiss it looking for a meteor "thats not a meteor because meteors flash" right as i say flash a green meteor like object darts across the sky.I was STUNNED my brain couldnt handle it and i started thinking i was jesus.Then i layed on the bed and thats when i envisioned a gray alien trying to talk to me with this black cube.One night an old episode of the 4th doctor just popped on.The doctor meets a god like figure and asks him to retreive the key of time which is a cube like the tesseract and much like a majestic 12 ex member account of et tech that is a black cube responsible for accessing stargates for travel into other dimensions.Anyway i was unsure if i just imagined that since it was in my mind but i felt smarter.i start getting manic and doig crazy stuff so my dad has me committed for a week and i NEEDED it.After i regained my sanity after having what is called a kunalini awakening in which a serpent of energy runs through your chakras filling you with oneness with the lord and bliss ive never felt before.I stayed out on my ex bosses property and kept kinding snakes,3 total one a giant green snake that just layed there and let me pick it up.So while this is going on the new season of doctor who comes out and they have an episode with edison and tesla like my episode and at the end of the finale it is evealed that doctor who is essentially god...like i thought i was.i also forgot to mention i found a patent for a time machine and the person who registered it lives in tulsa oklahoma which is where i live...whe i got out of the mental ward i was diagnosed with bipolar which is a mood disorder.The 6th doctor also had a mood disorder and tried to choke his companion.He has blue eyes and curly hair and kind of looks like me along with the 10th doctor.in series 12 of doctor who a curly haired character named charlie is revealed the villain and collapses to his death.Anyway thats all i have so far but i feel like this was set up or something,its blowing my mind.I should also mention that in numerology my life path was a 4 and when i had my awakening i my lifepath 22 and became what is called the master builder and the manifestor of dreams.So in conclussion i deduce that i am the real doctor...somehow.

@Crad500 reply while you don't need to be a fan it's not a role you should come on to completely cold either especially this late in the franchise. Which is something Chpnol did ( sorry I probably misspell his last name). Eccleston was a unique situation do to the fact he was rebooting the series so he history of the Doctor was not a important as the history of that Doctor and the time war and hope it effected him the last of his peaple, or so he believed in short he had a blank slate to work with. We're Jodie's situation was closer to Carrie's. What sad about Jodie's case isn't that she wasn't a fan but she was actively discouraged from doing the new research before taking a role.

He was an excellent Hamlet in London & working with David could mean a brief return. With the usual insult throwing, dandy & tramp were the, I think, the wonderful insults in the Three Doctors.

In canonical television, yes, Whittaker was the first female Doctor, but not "the first woman EVER to undertake the role of the Time Lord" known as The Doctor. Joanna Lumley and Arabella Weir both "undertook the role" long before that, although it's by no means enough to excuse how long it took for it to happen canonically. Let's not erase their achievements as trailblazers without whom the first canonically female Doctor could have taken many more years to become a reality! Especially if you're going to spout "technically" about Cushing and bring up Moody being the Duke of Wellington for Big Finish, and the Unbound series in which Weir played The Doctor, AND the Curse of Fatal Death in which Lumley became THE first woman to "undertake the role"!
