Unconfirmed - Ben Kingsley on Doctor Who

[robkelk]

Not to get anyone's hopes up or anything (yeah, right), but the Register is reporting that the Sun is reporting that Sir Ben Kingsley might be playing Davros in the next season of Doctor Who.
Now, the Reg has been wrong about Doctor Who in the past, and the Sun doesn't have a reputation for getting this kind of story right, either... but what if it's true? Sir Ben Kinglsey. On Doctor Who. Playing one of the classic "big bads". Wow.

Kingsley is a great actor, but more than that, he's willing to take oddball parts that let him stretch further as an actor. One of my favorite performances by him is as the fool in the recent film production of Twelfth Night that stars Helena Bonham Carter. Not a role you would normally expect a talent like Kingsley to take -- small, secondary to the story and requiring singing -- but he was fantastic in it.
