12th Doctor

While I'm glad that BBC decided to choose a Scottish actor I didn't expect them to choose Peter Capaldi, he's just so old.  If they wanted an older actor why didn't they choose James Marsters?  He would have been brilliant.  Perhaps the fans of Torchwood would have upset since he played a character there but Peter Capaldi was actually in Doctor Who before not just a spin-off (I just found out that he was in Torchwood too).  *major sigh*

I not going to judge him anymore than that though, after all I haven't even given him a chance.  As long as he keeps his Scottish accent I will probably love it.  If however he tries on a fake English one I will have lost faith in this show.  There is only so much a person can take.

James Marsters A.K.A. Spike

Rarely do you find out that one of your favorite actors can sing and sing well.  I first found out when watching an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and after further investigation found out that James is quite the accomplished singer.  Here are a couple samples of his work...

I think what I like most is he has so many different aspects, not one of his songs sounds similar yet each one is uniquely his.
