Somebody tweeted “Agent Carter” star Hayley Atwell this weekend asking if she’d like to be on the British family series “Doctor Who.”
Her response: “I’d like to BE Doctor Who.”
The BBC should snap her ass up. I don’t recall any actor who was already the lead in an American TV show before getting tapped to play The Doctor.
She’s already played Peggy Carter in eight episodes of “Agent Carter,” two “Captain America” movies, a Blu-ray short, “Ant-Man” and “Agents of SHIELD.” Another, longer season of “Agent Carter” is on the way.
Were I King Of The BBC, I’d be phoning her agents, before ABC cancels “Agent Carter” and before Peter Capaldi starts moaning about the long shooting hours.
Also, I'd order "Who" showrunner Stephen Moffat to write in a female companion who finds the Atwell Doctor very attractive.
