Dr. Who Across the Pond

A Tumblr blogger suggests some actors who might have played the iconic Timelord if the show had been made in the United States instead of England.

He seems to mostly have gone for a similarity of appearance to the appropriate BBC actor; I can't think of too many other reasons to have Nicolas Cage chew his way through the Tardis (and given how much of a ham-fest the show often was in its earlier incarnation, that's saying something).

On the other hand, I would have loved to have seen what Vincent Price would have done with the role. Probably not been too ruffled at the sight of the horrible alien beasties, I would imagine.
