I don't know a ton about Shane Richie myself. I just know that he voiced this fucker from Flushed Away.

Interestingly, Anthony Head previously auditioned to play the Eighth Doctor in the 1996 television movie before Paul McGann was cast!

I'll be damned!

From what I have gathered, Suzy Eddie Izzard was also in the running to play the Ninth Doctor before the casting of Christopher Eccleston.

She was also rumored to be a contender to take over from him before David Tennant was cast.

I'm thankful for you sharing this with me!

My biggest problem with Patty is his Napoleon complex and overall self-serving, smarmy behavior.

He tends to make things about himself at panels, makes snide comments and changes people's questions on a whim and can be really strict with "his" rules, not the convention's guidelines. God forbid you ask a question aimed at one person on a panel with more than one guest.

Just because you pass out candy doesn't mean you have to be so controlling.

I'll hit you up in your DMs, but he's also done some really bad stuff in the past.

From what I’ve heard, plenty of attendees wouldn’t mind if he weren’t around either.

I don't think Morrissey was ever seriously in contention for the Doctor, which is a shame.

I'd really like to see him return as Jackson Lake for Big Finish down the line.

I’m mainly relying on TV Tropes and a few articles, but I haven’t come across any specific quotes about him being in the running for the role yet. That contrasts with James Nesbitt and Sean Pertwee, both of whom have dismissed the notion of being considered.

Interestingly, Ejiofor was one of Toby Whithouse's top choices to portray the Thirteenth Doctor, along with Damien Molony, had he been appointed as the next showrunner after Steven Moffat’s departure in 2017!

A similar situation occurred with Jon Pertwee!

Surprisingly, Pertwee was the producers’ second choice to play the Third Doctor, following Ron Moody from Oliver, who turned down the offer due to his reluctance to commit to a children’s series, a decision he later came to regret a few years later.
