According to The Telegraph the BBC have made a contract offer to Rory Kinnear to portray the next iteration of the Doctor on Doctor Who. Says The Telegraph, "He has been offered the part and we are waiting to hear if he will accept. He is the perfect choice." Recently, there was another rumor identifying three other actors as the frontrunners to replace the departing Matt Smith. Domhnall Gleeson, Daniel Kaluuya and Dominic Cooper were said to be the lucky three but its possible that the role is Kinnear's to accept or decline. Kinnear was most recently seen in Skyfall in the role of Tanner.

@JatevinM

They said the same thing when Smith was chosen to replace Tennant. If he can bring bring this incarnation of the Doctor to life, why not?

I'm not familiar with British publications, but judging by some of their other stories (and common sense) I'm going to give this one a strong "No.".

Whoever it it has to look like they could've come from Smith. All of the Doctors have had somewhat of a similar look.

Good choice. Kinnear is an excellent actor.

As stated above this choice would totally tick off fan girls and the newer viewership that Doctor Who has. I don't think the BBC wants to lose that very, very lucrative audience. I am sure they will find someone that will satisfy the core audience as well as the newer one. I say Ben Whishaw is the man for the job as a fan of all incarnations of my favorite Time Lord.
