George Clooney as the Doctor?  Harumph.  I say it would have to be whoever the current Doctor is or it wouldn't work.  Either way, anyone would be better than George Clooney...even Tom Green.

Ewan tends to piss me off a bit.  He'd have to be a generally likeable fella.  I don't know British actors well enough...How about Martin Freeman?

Michael Fassbender would be good.  :)

I believe Jason Isaacs is the current front runner. He's be good too.

I was going to suggest Peter Cushing, because I thought it'd be humorous, but Wikipedia says he's dead now.

It's likely that a new actor will have taken over from Matt Smith in the lead role by the time a film goes into production.

Russell Brand would be more traditional, but I'm probably the only person who thinks that.

He would? There's only been one comedian cast as the Doctor before and he was awful.

I wasn't completely serious about Russell Brand in particular, but I do feel that if it were to be made into a movie you'd need a doctor who was more 'out there'. Growing up all the actors cast were a little scatty (maybe not Patrick Troughton so much), and it felt to me that it was their personalities shaping that of the doctor, rather than it being intentionally scripted.

In 1990 Sylvester McCoy was voted best Doctor!

By Who ?

Tom Baker has always been the best

Jon Pertwee was a comedian, too. (Exhibit A: CPO Pertwee in the Navy Lark).

I think Tom Baker also qualifies.

Not forgetting William Hartnell. He was most at home with comic characters -- even if sometimes it was the comedy of the straight guy.

We've just been arm-twisted into subscribing to that by my son.  At least it wasn't 'Fiesta' (more's the pity),

I'm fairly certain a comedy actor doesn't qualify as a comedian. Most actors have appeared in comedy roles at some point in their career - I don't consider Robert De Niro a comedian for example.

Sylvester McCoy was voted best Doctor whilst he was the current Doctor (as was David Tennant twice) - the only three years that Tom Baker didn't win it (he came second on all three).

Not forgetting William Hartnell.

Usually the first actor to play a role in a TV series/series of films are the most fondly remembered, but this never seems the case with William Hartnell. I watched "The Gunfighters" the other day, and while the episode was mostly awful, Hartnell was still good in it, even though he was apparently quite ill by that time and kept forgetting his lines.

I think the key to a good Doctor is for an actor to be cast that can do drama and comedy equally well (there was almost no comedy at all in Hartnell's Doctor). The three who tend to be the most popular (Tom Baker, Patrick Troughton and David Tennant) can do this.
