I'm not really talking about the 8th Doctor. He's only in 97 minutes of Doctor Who anyway, so access to classic who wouldn't really change that.

I'm more talking about his career as an actor. He's done some really good work in Withnail and Luther and on stage. He would fit well in today's prestige TV landscape.

I'm kinda surprised that Paul Mcgann didn't become a bigger thing. Aside from Patrick Troughton and Peter Davison, he was really the best actor to play the Doctor before the reboot. He also debuted at the same time as actors that would later become huge like Colin Firth, doing similar work.

Still, he's been really good in everything I've seen him in. Want to see the guy in a prestige show or something.
