The last and final Doctor.

[@SerathDarklands]

Peter Capaldi is, for me, at least, the greatest actor to step into the shoes of the Doctor. The man can say more in a glance than most actors can in an entire monologue, and when he DOES monologue, I'm just transfixed. He brought gravitas and humor, class and silliness, and above all, a certain elegance to the role. The man is an absolute legend.

[@iztasticbachman9578]

Couldn't agree more!

[@SerathDarklands]

@@iztasticbachman9578 John Hurt was also fantastic as the War Doctor - John Hurt was a magnificent actor himself - and maybe if I had more time with him beyond just the one special he was in (okay, two if you're being charitable, but that was literally just his voice and a blurry reflection) I'd like him more, but as things stand, Peter Capaldi is the best for me.

[@iztasticbachman9578]
