Doctor Who: 10 Great Actors Who Need To Play Villains
5. Ramin Karimloo (On Screen Or Voice)
For those of you saying Who is this person? Dont worry, I was expecting that response. Being a theatre fan, I had to bring a few theatre people into this list, in hopes that the actors that I love will one day be recognised on a huge, international television show. Ramin Karimloo is a huge name if anyone knows theatre, especially the West End. Hes played a large amount of iconic roles on the West End, including Raoul and the Phantom in Phantom of the Opera and also appeared in the movie as Christines father as well as playing many of the boys at the barricade in Les Miserables, as well as Jean Valjean, which hes played on the West End, in Toronto, and will be playing on Broadway this season. Now that Ive given you a brief look at his acting credits, and while Ive said this about many people on this list, Ramin Karimloo has a wonderful voice for a villain. In fact, having had to bring something to the role of Phantom being the youngest person to play the role hes wonderful at making the audience fall in love with a character and be terrified of him at the exact same time. I believe thats a wonderful quality in a villain, and it is something that Karimloo has a knack for. Even though he may not have the gigantic following that other actors have on this list, hes more than capable of being on Doctor Who, and on a list with these actors. Karimloo could more than pull his own weight in a fight against Capaldi.
I'm currently attending my local college while trying to figure out who I am. I love Doctor Who, Sherlock, really any BBC show. I've also been told I'm a bit of a nerd. Specifically, a theatre nerd.
