- Not the majority. Jeremy Brett, Rowan Atkinson, and most of the cut-off
- names are Brits (or close enough). Also, although I agree that a Brit would
- be preferable, I really can't think of any reason why it should be a
- requirement. After all, the Doctor *is* Gallifreyan. If he can have an
- accent like Sylvester McCoy's, why can't he have an American accent?
-
- Oh, and one more thing...if anyone *does* suggest Stallone, Costner (WORST
- ACTOR ON THE PLANET), or Ah-nold, they will be net-shot out of hand.
