OK, "Doctor Who" fans, by now you have heard the news.

The actor slated to replace David Tennant as the Doctor is 28-year-old actor Matt Smith.

Smith will be the 11th Doctor and is the youngest actor to step into the role.

To tell you the truth, I am a little taken aback.

I thought for sure BBC was going to choose an older actor, because Tennant was so successful as a young version of the most celebrated Time Lord in Sci-Fi history.

But, alas, I was wrong.

However, at first glance, Smith does have that ethereal look. So it will be interesting to see how he does. But I was thinking the show's producers would try to add another dimension to the Doctor and make him older.

Still, when word came that Tennant was going to give up his role as the Doctor, my wife, Tammy, and I started making a list of people who, we thought in our arrogance, would make a great impression as the Last Son of Gallifrey.

Names such as Alan Rickman, Michael Caine and Liam Neeson were close to the top of that list. We had also discussed Ewan McGregor and even the Dark Knight himself, Christian Bale.

But during our brainstorming, something else began brewing in my mind.
