The BBC are making a one off Doctor Who special with an American actor in the role. Doesn’t matter how it fits, different continuity, future Doctor, pre-First Doctor, alternative, doesn’t matter. Just a new Doctor. Without saying “I wouldn’t”, who’d you cast?

@DimensionsInJen Scott Bakula

@DimensionsInJen Alfonso Ribeiro

@DimensionsInJen Robert Downey Junior.

@DimensionsInJen Jim Parsons is the only american i've ever looked at and gone "that could be doctor who", purely because of this beautiful photo 😍😍

@DimensionsInJen I spend 80% of my time watching The Good Place thinking about how good Ted Danson would be as the Doctor...

@DimensionsInJen Whoopi Goldberg. She’s wanted to do it for years and she’d be brilliant in the role

@DimensionsInJen Steve Buscemi. It's an unorthodox pick perhaps, but I think he could bring something really interesting to the role.

@DimensionsInJen Natasha Lyonne

@DimensionsInJen Aubrey Plaza.

@DimensionsInJen Bruce Campbell

@DimensionsInJen Okay he’s Scottish, but he does live in America.

@DimensionsInJen Bryan Cranston if you want “dark and enigmatic with a twinkle”. Donald Glover if you want impish and mercurial with a dark side. I’ve always thought Robert Downey Jr would do the job well.

@DimensionsInJen Nicholas Cage

@DimensionsInJen Kyle MacLachlan

@DimensionsInJen Alan Tudyk

@DimensionsInJen Krysten Ritter. She’d be perfect! She has the acting chops, the charm and this loveable zaniness about her. I think her incarnation would be more guarded and sarcastic similar to 12. I love Krysten as Jessica Jones and having worked with DT, Krysten’s in a unique position!❤️❤️

@DimensionsInJen He's no longer with us but the always amazing Robin Williams would be my top pick.

@DimensionsInJen I think he could pull it off ngl

@DimensionsInJen jodie whittaker with an american accent

@DimensionsInJen let him live his dream

@DimensionsInJen Any of these four:

@DimensionsInJen I really think Hamish Linklater would body it

@DimensionsInJen A more senior take? The Doctor? JK Simmons. The Master? Brad Dourif. Missy? Jessica Lange.

@DimensionsInJen This man 😁

@DimensionsInJen The Rock. It would be awful but it would also be really funny.

@DimensionsInJen Danny Pudi, I've literally only seen him in Community and some of Mythic Quest but I think he could pull it off

@DimensionsInJen Bob Odenkirk

@DimensionsInJen Angela Bassett would bring real power to the role

@DimensionsInJen I would cast Sarah Paulson as the First Doctor, Caleb Landry Jones as the Master and Ally Ioannides as Susan in a feature-length special set during the American Revolution. The special would draw parallels between the USA splitting from Britain and the Doctor leaving Gallifrey.

@DimensionsInJen I wouldn't 😎 /j Adrien Brody would be cool

@DimensionsInJen These 3 came to mind first

@DimensionsInJen Aubrey Plaza.

@DimensionsInJen Avery Brooks
