David Tennant Is Coming To America
Whenever I tell people I like Doctor Who they just roll their eyes. It’s either because they know what it is and they think I’m a pretentious or they don’t know what it is and they think I’m a nerdy nerd. Regardless I stand by it. Doctor Who is an awesome show and it has only become spectacular in the last four three season’s. Why? Because for the past three seasons Scottish actor David Tennant has been the Doctor.
Though he has done a fantastic job, David’s role as the Doctor is about to come to an end. This devastated many Doctor Who fans but there is a light at the end of the tunnel for us yanks. It was announced Monday that David Tennant will be starring in a new NBC pilot.
Popular British actor David Tennant, best known for playing the title role in the BBC’s long-running sci-fi series “Doctor Who,” is set to make his American television debut as the title character in NBC’s hourlong pilot “Rex Is Not Your Lawyer.”
Written by Andrew Leeds and David Lampson, “Rex” centers on Rex Alexander (Tennant), a top Chicago litigator who begins suffering panic attacks and takes up coaching clients to represent themselves in court.
David Semel, who directed the pilots for “Heroes” and “Life” has come on board to helm the comedic legal drama from Universal Media Studios and BermanBraun.
No word on when the show will air, but I am so excited! Not only because it will be a different role for David, but also an American role. I hope it’s awesome, and I hope NBC picks it up. Ever since they let Jay Leno take the 10 pm slot every night the network has been making terrible decisions.
