Matt Smith, the new Doctor
Much has already been said about the casting of Matt Smith as the new Doctor. Watch a short interview with him and see what you think. A few highlights excerpted below. I hope my transcribing skills haven't done him any injustice.
On the significance of the role:
It sort of has the... ummm ... the iconic kind of status that Robin Hood or Sherlock Holmes or ... and I'm sort of ... taking that on. That's my responsibility. That's exciting ... nervewracking ... exciting ... exciting!
On keeping his new role a secret:
It's like a giant secret. It's hugely significant. Yeah... yeah.'
On the future:
I've got this wonderful sort of journey in front of me where I've got this kind of six months to build this... this... this Timelord. And that's such an exciting prospect because I love that part of being an actor, I love the discovery of it and, uh, the detective bit.
I'm trying to reserve judgement until I see him in action as the Doctor. Hopefully Stephen Moffat and the other producers really can see something in the young actor that I'm missing. I'll tell you this much though - if they give him an emo or 'gofic' costume, I'm out!
