This selection doesn't bode well. He doesn't look serious enough to be a Doctor.
Right. Of course, Tom Baker was the soul of serious, as was Sylvester McCoy.

(I never took to McCoy, by the way. I thought he looked and acted like a whiny little goof.)

And we have to remember that there were many who derided the selection of Dean Cain as Clark Kent because he wasn't tall enough or "heroic" enough or forceful enough to play Superman. But he did pretty well, don't you think?
