No idea who he is but his wikipedia says he's won some awards for his parts in other stuff. With him and Davies this season will probably be a lot better than the previous ones have been

I've never watched it but I'm familiar with certain aspects of it.

Can't the Doctor, like, reincarnate or something? Would it not be inevitable they could end up any race or even be different genders at times?

Anecdotal, but it seems the backlash from some people was way worse when it was announced The Doctor was going to be a woman.

If I remember right, for about the first 20 years he was credited as "Doctor Who" in the credits.

The Doctor is one of those characters who has a built-in canonical explanation for why and how they can appear as any kind of person. Even a non-human, if the show-runners are feeling cheeky.

Basically...there are some cases for which it's reasonable to complain about casting for the sake of race-swapping/pandering/etc., but this is not one of those cases. The Doctor can be anybody.

This will be the 13th reincarnation (or 14th primary actor) for the Doctor. I started watching about a decade ago from the 2005 restart with the 9th Doctor (weeeeeell, not exactly but yeah), Christopher Eccleston. I have enjoyed all the actors since, though my favourite is Tennant.

Absolutely. One of the Doctor's long-lasting enemies is fellow Time Lord the Master, who was a woman 2-3 actors ago. And the show has always been fairly liberal and egalitarian, so it's totally on brand.

I don't know who this new guy is but I'm stoked to see how he interprets the role!

Even back in the 70s it was clear the time lords are not human. After the original actor for The Master died the character came back a few years later as a decaying husk, something a regular human clearly can't become.

TC could have just said the new Doctor Who has been announced or revealed. Instead of making a point to call him out by the color of his skin.

He's a decent actor, kinda young though. I wonder what the writing quality is like currently, I haven't watched regularly since first season of the woman Doctor and I thought the writing took a nose dive after a steady decline.

Haha no
David Tennant and Peter Capaldi are Scottish, for example. And the Doctor is not a shapeshifter.
