Indiana Jones. I'd love to see a Hindu archaeologist from India defeat some weird Christian cult in America. Or maybe the Church of Scientology. I think Sendhil Ramamurthy would make a great Indy from India.
Doctor Who. There's been loads of talk about casting a woman and/or a person of color as the role. Possible casting options:
** Lily Cole. Ethereal and mysterious, beautiful in an alien way, and ginger! What's a Whovian not to love?
** Tilda Swinton. A lot of the same points as Lily Cole (yes, she's even a natural redhead), and she's also got Paul McGann's endorsement. Plus she played another last surviving member of an advanced but decadent alien species, the rest of whom she wiped out to end a war. Does this mean Turkish Delight is the new Jelly Babies?
** Helena Bonham Carter. She's known for playing very offbeat and quirky roles. The only problem wirh her (and with Tilda) is that Doctor Who doesn't like to hand the main role to superstars.
** Evanna Lynch. She played Luna in Harry Potter, so she's already got the quirkiness down!
** Dev Patel. He's also tall, skinny, youthful, and boyishly handsome, just like Ten and Eleven were.
** Masi Oka. I see him as a small, more eccentric Doctor, akin to Two or Seven.
** Ken Watanabe. He's a more serious, fatherly figure, akin to Three or Five. He'd also be one of the oldest Doctors to date, although he certainly doesn't show it.
** Rinko Kikuchi. She's got a very quirky taste in fashion (Google it sometime, you won't be disappointed!), but she can also play classy characters (like Three) and tough characters (like Nine).
Dave Chappelle, or maybe Key or Peele. Yeah, I know they're American, but I've seen a few of their skits, and let me tell you, they are hilarious.
Taye Diggs. Also American, also talented. He was also pretty funny as the douchebag landlord in Rent.
George Harris. Lots of planets have a Grenada. He looks slightly eccentric but also authoritative, which is why he did such a good job as Kingsley Shacklebolt in Harry Potter.
** Lupita Nyong'o. I haven't seen her in that many movies, but then again, I could say that for a lot of the people on this list. All I know is that she's a talented performer and I can't wait to see her in Star Wars!
