10 Actors Who Should Play Doctor Who (But Won't)
5. Natalie Dormer
Natalie Dormer is stunningly beautiful but there's something off-kilter about her that would make her a great choice to play up the alien side of the Doctor.
She has an illustrious television career, having starred in shows like The Tudors and Game of Thrones, but doesn't seem to be at the point where she's only interested in working in film, which has kept other high-profile actors from taking on the role.
Like Atwell, she's also open to playing the Doctor, stating that all it would take is the right script. And assuming that RTD sticks around for the Sixteenth Doctor and beyond, script quality certainly won't be an issue.
Dormer is also one of those people that, like Matt Smith, feels a great deal like the Doctor in real life. So will it happen? Well, since she's on this list, our gut feeling is no, but hey, never say never!
