Doctor Who: 8 Actors That Would Make AMAZING Doctors!
5. Olly Alexander
The one and only Olly Alexander is, without a doubt, one of the most rumoured actors that will be playing the 14th Doctor! And, if we're being honest, there's some validity to this speculation.
Olly Alexander is a well-known British singer and actor, thanks to his band's hit song "King" in 2015, with over 450 million Spotify streams as of this date. Furthermore, Olly has also featured in the critically acclaimed series It's A Sin, which has received numerous awards and nominations. This demonstrates Olly's strong acting ability, which is essential for the timelord's role.
The most intriguing aspect of the rumour is that Russell T Davis, the next Doctor Who showrunner, wrote It's A Sin, which might easily be where he selects the new doctor. This is also how Chibnall discovered 13th Doctor Jodie Whittaker, who he met while working on Broadchurch, a drama he wrote before taking on Doctor Who. This supports the theory that Olly Alexander could possibly be the new Doctor, even though he claims he won't be!
If the rumour turns out to be accurate, we'll be introduced to a totally fresh and original Doctor. This change of tune for the show would give a distinct style and spirit, and with Russell T. Davis as showrunner, we're sure it'll be amazing!
