I was going to say Crispin Glover, but basically he’s just an older, weirder, creepier version of Matt Smith.
But that’s irelevant because the answer is
HELL yes.
Kyle McLaughlin in the Twin peaks years would have been great, but I have converted to … wait for it … Team Neal Patrick Harris too.
Penn Jilette.
What do I win?
Oh, nice! Would Teller be his Companion or would that be too obvious, maybe make him the Big Bad for the season?
I think Penn would choose a more, uh, buxom companion than Teller.
Teller could be the guy Penn keeps running into regardless of time or place. Ancient Egypt? Teller would be performing Cup & Balls in the background for spare change. Civil War? Teller is tiptoeing through the fields of dead, taking their pocket-watches. Kennedy assassination? Teller is the guy who held the door open for Oswald, then walks across the street to get a good seat on a grassy knoll.
Dayum! Switching my vote from Jeff Goldblum. Teller as The Master!
Is there a “Q” equivalent in the show? He’d make a great Q. Or maybe he could be the next Q in Bond! Then you could have the baddies attack him thinking him a harmless scientist and he get to break out his wrestling moves.
No, Teller as the Doctor. His accent won’t bother the Brits. Just give all the lines to the companion.
Or Aubrey Plaza. (has time travel cred) and a wicked attitude.
Or Let’s face it, Robert Downey Jr. or Johnny Depp would be great.
1980’s Corey Feldman (d&r)
Unfortunately, Johnny Depp would insist on some form of “character”. I don’t want Johnny Depp as Cloris Leachman as The Doctor.
Unfortunately, if it was in American (Hollywood) hands, we KNOW they’d seriously fuck it up. Hell, they’d probably cast Ryan Reynolds at this point.
With Jeff Foxworthy as his traveling companion?
If you have a plunger coming out of your face and it’s glowing you might be a Dalek.
