Okay I have a feeling he's not too popular around here LOL, but still what do you think of him as an actor all around.
Personally I've always thought he was a good actor, just not an ideal fit for the Doctor. Though in some stories he is fine, like The Next Doctor. (Am I the only one who loves that story BTW?)
I have a feeling he could have been like Davison and McGann. Neither of them were ideal fits for the Doctor. Too young, too conventional looking, etc, but both overcame that by being true to the character. Tennant however was fucked by writing that seemed to revel in how bad a fit he was, by having him shag his 19 year old companion, tell Wilf that he would be happy if he was his dad etc.
(Whilst obviously the bulk of the blame for this has to rest on Davies, ultimately I do think Tennant went along with it too. To be fair though who wouldn't want to be in a series where you get to kiss BIllie Piper and Freema Agyeman and Michelle Ryan LOL.)
Overall Tennant is a good actor for me, and a really, really, really nice guy. I've met him and I can say he is one of the nicest people involved in DW. Still overall I just don't think he was a good fit for the part. Too much of a conventional leading man, who played it as a conventional hero in every respect.
