He’s kind of like the Doogie Hauser of Time Lords.
We previously reported a leak that Patterson Joseph was going to be cast, but this weekend, the BBC unveiled 26-year old, unknown Matt Smith as the 11th Doctor.
What do you think?

Lisa Fary’s early exposure to classic Battlestar Galactica in 1979 is largely responsible for her lifelong interest in science fiction and her childhood ambition of being an intergalactic space cowgirl. She thinks diagramming sentences is a fun alternative to Sudoku.

Lisa Fary's earliest influences are Princess Leia, Rainbow Bright, Astronaut Barbie, and her 6th grade teacher, Ms. Palmer. She's angry that it's 2011 and she still doesn't have a hovercraft, but will accept a jetpack as consolation. That jetpack had better be pink with a rhinestone monogram. 
Matt Smith has a fairly impressive resume under his belt, in both TV and stage work. As long as the writers – and the more rabid of the fans – remember he is a gawd-knows-how-old-alien in a human-seeming body, he should do just fine.
He has an interesting face with some strong bonestructure, and he is not a pretty boy. Which is good. On a shallow note, when he regenerates I hope he grows some eyebrows…
I didn't even notice that his eyebrows are nonexistent!
The non-existent eyebrows are a great source of "lolz" in the Doctor Who fandom. Already. It's been, like, two days. It's sort of awesome.
I try to reserve judgment until I see him as the actual Doctor, but he sure does seem awfully young to me.
