The youngest actor to have taken on the iconic role; Matt Smith, 26, has been revealed to be cast as The Eleventh Doctor in the popular British sci-fi show Doctor Who.


Honestly, I already like him. He's kinda goofy looking, but still adorable. And I have to say, he just *looks* like the Doctor. I'm excited to see what happens when he comes on in Spring 2010.

EDIT: Yes, I know he looks like he probably belongs in Twilight (it was what I said when I got my first look at him).

And I am always the first person to admit that I hate Twilight and the characters contained therein. But I default to the fact that he's a young British man, and therefore is likely to be pasty skinned. It all comes down to what he'll do on his first episode, I guess.

David Tennant is leaving Doctor Who after the 2009 series of specials:
