Matt Smith, The Eleventh Doctor

By Mark
It has now been officially confirmed that Matt Smith will take on the role of the Eleventh Doctor when David Tennant leaves Doctor Who at the end of next year. Matt is twenty six years old which makes him the youngest actor to be cast as The Doctor in the whole of the show's forty five year history. He has previously appeared in shows such as Party Animals and The Street and even worked alongside Billie Piper in both of her Sally Lockhart detective stories and Secret Diary of a Call Girl. More information including a press release about the casting will be posted tomorrow.

    I'd like to take this time to wish Matt the best of luck with Doctor Who, I'm sure he'll be great. I'll miss David Tennant when he goes as he's my favourite Doctor but I'm sure Matt will be fantastic too :D

    A younger version of our favorite Time lord will certainly attract younger audience to the series. He was not even close to my choices to the role, but I still wish him good luck.

    I was suprised when he appeared on screen. I haven't actually seen any of his work but the clips shown on confidential made me confindent that he will be a great doctor.

    And i'll say that he's better looking than tennant :D

    He is a great actor and looks very like the doctor should look.i am bit worried about his age but he is so funny and kind that i think he will grow into the role of The Doctor.I will be sad when David Tennant leaves.He was my Doctor and i wish Matt good luck.

    I think he'll be interesting. He looks very broody. I wonder if they'll wrap up all the companion issues -- like Donna -- with Tennant and sort of wipe the slate clean for series five? I just hope they don't have another unrequited love scenario with the next companion.

    I'm willing to give Matt the benefit of the doubt,and I hope he proves himself to be a great Doctor when he starts !! Can't believe the amount of people slagging the poor guy off before he's even done an episode !!

    Apparently he was Steven Moffat's first choice that gives him some points.

    Hey is anyone else freaked out by his name? I mean if his first name was John I'd be really scared but it's still pretty strange

Something to say?
