I've only just recently got into Doctor Who. I've been a fan of Johnny Depp since his 21 Jump Street days. Depp is definitely able to take on the less conventional roles. Doctor Who has a lot of energy. Depp could bring that to the role at the very least. Another positive would be without Tim Burton directing, we could see Depp in something other than caked on white face make-up. ![]() That's if he were being considered for the role. Its all rumor right now. |

Depp would probably be a good choice, but I have to think that the Brits would really like it if one of their own played the iconic character. Of course, in this day and age it seems like everybody picks Aussies ...

I'm warming up to the idea. He'd probably receive some flack, but then most would probably accept him if he pulled out a good performance.
I have noticed that too.

I'm not sure how Johnny Depp is with accents but, I do know that he is a first rate actor. He could probably be taught by a dialect coach how to speak with a proper English accent. It would be awesome if Depp played Dr. Who. |

I've always been a fan of Depp. I'm trying to think of a role where he might have used an English accent (other than the Pirates movies)..... I would not be surprised if they just went with an American English accent. Depp has a way of speaking in a proper style that could pass. |

^^^ Sweeney Tood called for an English accent. Haven't seen it, so can't say how he did. |

You are right...I had forgotten that Johnny Depp used an English accent in his "Pirates" movies. On that note...I think that he would make a great "Dr. Who". I would just hate for fans to get upset because he's not English though.... |

Many out on the Internet threw a fit when the rumor of Depp being considered first surfaced. I think it would be a bigger controversy than the Star Trek alternate timeline reboot. |

I do too, 24th. I think that it would be wise to cast a British actor as "Dr. Who". |

And yet we have how many British or Aussie actors playing big, iconic American character roles? Christian Bale as Batman anyone? Seriously, it should be about who might be best able to play the role. Frankly, Depp does quirky very well and the Doctor is nothing if not quirky. |

I am amazed at how many Aussie/British actors turn on the American accent for American character roles. Many are very successful at hiding the fact that American English isn't their native tongue. Once people know their background though, the preconceived ideas kick in and its often harder to accept them in certain roles. |
