We ’ve hear . The part has been offered to a black actor , but for various reasons it did n’t work out . Should the physician be black ? Should the medico be a womanhood ? So long as the Doctor is still the Dr. , anything is potential .
Naturally , this has contribute to a circumstances of hypothesis about who move around down the theatrical role . TheRadio Timeshas get frontwards , too , reference root who worked on the show during the transition from Russell T. Davies to Steven Moffat that claim 12 Years a hard worker ’s ( and forthcoming Doctor Strange conscientious objector - genius ) Chiwetel Ejiofor was propose the part of the eleventh Doctor . They say Ejiofor could n’t come to an correspondence with the BBC , so the part was then offer to Matt Smith .
This is of course not incisively official substantiation that it was Ejiofor , but it ’s not on the dot surprising if it turned out to be true . The actor ’s name has cropped up on many a list of likely Doctors over the old age and betting odds in the run up to a Doctor ’s casting , join fellow black actors like Paterson Joseph , David Harewood , and Idris Elba . But unhappily , it might just be that we ’ll forever be imagining what might have been if he did indeed bend down the character . That allege , hopefully by the time Doctor 13 roll around the show will get a more diverse pencil lead .
