The guy they talked about wasn't Adrian, but since I'm a great fan of his works, it would do my heart,and eyes good to have him as The Doctor.:-) Meta --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, Daryle Lockhart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > The actor they were discussing is Adrian Lester.

Re: [RE][scifinoir2] Tennant to quit Dr Who
Sorry. I'm taking a wait and see on this one. Mostly because the Doc is a major sci-fi figures. However, if anyone would do something like this it would be the BBC (as they have a good track record on putting blacks in lead/major roles). And Adrian would be the best choice for it. However I can see lots of (mostly white) yank Who fans heads poping even at the thought of a black doctor who. -GTW In a message dated 10/30/08 6:48:36 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > The actor they were discussing is Adrian Lester.

The actor they were discussing is Adrian Lester. Adrian Lester as the Doctor would be incredible. And, quite possible.

Re: [RE][scifinoir2] Tennant to quit Dr Who
I think its just that he's had enough of being The Doctor and would like to do other things, like theater and so forth. I like that he wants to end on a high note instead of beating the role to death. It seems a lot easier to escape typecasting over the pond. I've seen actors take on so many different roles with such ease over here.

Re: [RE][scifinoir2] Tennant to quit Dr Who
He'd have to turn blonde not to be seen as "hey! it's the Doctor!" from now on. It's too late. Chris was able to get away with being in "Heroes", but Chris wasn't the most popular Doctor. Patrick Stewart should sit him down and ;et him know that three more years in the TARDIS may drive him crazy, but it won't ruin his career.
