I’ve already proposed the perfect Canadian combination: **Shaun Majumder and/or Ian Hanomansing** I quote from another thread: > [@How do you want the next Doctor to be?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-do-you-want-the-next-doctor-to-be/663309/35): > > (This is a Canadian thing, Ian is a newscaster Shaun is a comedian who plays Ian on ‘This Hour has 22Minutes’, a satire show. They once interviewed each other in character -each in the others character. > > Hanomansing is occasionally referred to as “Ian Hansome Man Thing”, so it would probably work with a good chunk of the demographic, and would be a slight step away from the white male Brit, as they’re both Canadians and non-pasty-honky. Hanomansing was born in Trinidad and Tobago, Majumder is of Bengali/Newfoundlander parents.) I still like Judy Dench as doctor, Hanomansing & Majumder as an alien companion. Next choice would be: [Chrissy Moltisanti / Michael Imperioli](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Imperioli). He’d be awesome, and clearly not English. #3 is James Marsters --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/if-the-next-doctor-who-were-an-american-he-would-be-played-by/663849)._
