The Top Ten
1 David Tennant David Tennant is a Scottish actor known for his roles as the Tenth Doctor in the British television series Doctor Who, Alec Hardy in Broadchurch, Giacomo Casanova in the TV serial Casanova, Kilgrave in Jessica Jones, and Barty Crouch, Jr. in the Harry Potter movie series.

Has to be the best actor to ever graze the Doctor Who scene. Absolutely legendary. He of course played the 10th Doctor and did pretty dang good. He is considered the best.

Simply the most amazing Doctor. He has natural humor, good looks and just superb acting. He was an amazing treat.

Bro he was so cute! And when he was a kid he would pretend to be the doctor and that dream came true. He was so good

2 Matt Smith Matthew Robert Smith is an English actor. He is best known for his role as the Eleventh Doctor in the BBC science fiction series Doctor Who, for which he received a BAFTA Award nomination in 2011.

Following up David Tennant was going to be difficult, but Matt Smith perfected his role. A great actor and he really embodied the Doctor.

3 Tom Baker Thomas Stewart Baker is an English actor. He is best known as the fourth incarnation of the Doctor in the science fiction series Doctor Who from 1974 to 1981, a longer tenure than any other actor, and for the narration of the comedy series Little Britain.

A lot of the older people think Tom Baker was the best. I don't think he was the best, but he was up there. When you think if the Doctor a lot of people think of him.

4 Peter Capaldi

Peter Capaldi who turned from super fan to guest appearances to landing the spot of the Doctor.

5 Christopher Eccleston
6 Jon Pertwee

Really doesn't get the credit he deserves. He was a great actor and one of the best Doctors we've had.

7 Billie Piper Billie Paul Piper is an English singer, dancer and actress . She is best known for her role as Rose Tyler in the BBC sci-fi series Doctor Who .

A fan favorite. While I think she was a bit overrated, I still thought she was great.

8 Patrick Troughton
9 Paul McGann
10 John Simm

John Simm is easily one of the best actors in Doctor Who. Easily the best Master. His iconic laugh will always be in my head.

The Contenders
11 Alex Kingston
12 John Hurt Sir John Vincent Hurt, CBE (January 22, 1940 - January 25, 2017) was an English actor and voice actor whose career spanned six decades. Hurt was regarded as one of Britain's finest actors; director David Lynch described him as "simply the greatest actor in the world".

I liked him as the Storyteller in the 80's. He was cool as the War Doctor.

13 Jenna-Louise Coleman Jenna-Louise Coleman (Born April 27th, 1986) is a British actress best known for portraying Clara Oswald in Doctor Who, and Queen Victoria in Victoria. She has also acted in Emmerdale and The Cry.

Another great companion. She really jump-started her career with Doctor Who.

14 Freema Agyeman

My favorite companion. She did great as Martha. She was really undervalued by a lot of Doctor Who fans. I think she was the best companion.

15 Derek Jacobi Sir Derek George Jacobi is an English actor and stage director. A "forceful, commanding stage presence", Jacobi has enjoyed a successful stage career, appearing in such stage productions as Hamlet, Uncle Vanya, and Oedipus the King.
16 John Barrowman John Scot Barrowman is a Scottish-American actor, singer, presenter and writer. Born in Glasgow, Scotland, he moved to the United States with his family in 1975.

Plays the legendary Captain Jack. He gets extra points just for Torchwood

17 William Hartnell
18 Sylvester McCoy
19 Karen Gillan Karen Sheila Gillan (born 28 November 1987) is a Scottish actress and filmmaker. She portrayed Amy Pond, companion to the Eleventh Doctor, in the BBC One series Doctor Who (2010–2013). She received international recognition for playing Nebula in the Marvel Cinematic Universe films Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017), Avengers: Infinity War (2018), and Avengers: Endgame (2019), and also for her role of Martha/Ruby Roundhouse in Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017), and Jumanji: The Next Level (2019).

While her character was sometimes a bit annoying, but overall she was great.
