Russell Who? Out Stage Actor Might Be The Next Doctor
Doctor Who visionary Russell T. Davies won't be the executive producer of the show for much longer, but some e-mail correspondence hints at another Russell that Davies would like to see play the eventual Eleventh Doctor.
Russell Tovey is a name you might not have heard. He's a British dude who has been in a bunch of British plays and British TV shows (pretty much all of which were British). He played a small part in the most recent Doctor Who Christmas special (alongside Kylie Minogue!). He's also gay, and as you might have noticed, somewhat of a cutie. Unless I'm mistaken, he'd also be (visually speaking) the youngest Doctor to date.
I love David Tennant, but I wouldn't say no to Tovey being the next to pilot the TARDIS.

I like Russell Tovey a lot (he was GREAT in 'Being Human')...yes he is cute (though that picture isn't too flattering)...but, I'm not sure I see him as 'The Doctor". I think he'd be a cool companion, but I think I'd prefer someone more mature. IDK, I guess we'll all see.
Oh please yes!
This isn't going to happen.
Like you said yourself. Davies isn't staying on. The choice for a next Doctor would fall to Moffat.
He's just making some meaningless playfull speculation.
Would've been nice (especially since I dislike Tennant), but just wishfull thinking.
