[eumelia]

Yes, I'm doing it!

The most comprehensive linkage of the meme is here!

Chromatic Castings of The New Doctor Who (9th and 10th) and Torchwood (Series 1-2)!


The Doctor and His Companions


Djimon Hounsou as the 9th Doctor


Anjali Jay as Rose Tyler


Tadanobu Asano as the 10th Doctor


Freema Agyeman stays as Martha Jones!


Meera Syal as Donna Noble

And edited to add, 'cause I was inspired:

Paterson Joseph as the Master!


Ryuhei Matsuda as Lucy Saxson. Yes, this is a genderswitch... still pretty, sad-looking, eye-candy though.

Torchwood - Heroes of Cardiff and the World at large!


Sophie Okonedo as Gwen Cooper


Suheir Hammad as Dr. Owen Harper.


Naoko Mori stays as Dr. Toshiko Sato.


Parminder Nagra as Ianto Jones

And last, but certainly not least!

Gina Torres as Captain Jack Harkenss!

Well, Yes, my Cardiff is full of beautiful women.

Yay! I'm glad everyone likes my Jack. I had actually though of Taye Diggs as Jack - you know, song and dance man - but once I decided to do a genderswitch I just couldn't resist Gina!

Taye Diggs would be awesome as Ianto, too, I think, if you hadn't gone genderswitch. Since Taye Diggs is awesome.

Hmmmm, I'm not sure I agree with you. I actually went genderswitch because I couldn't think of anyone other than GDL to play Ianto - so I looked at actresses and bam, there was Nagra.

Does that make me sexist? That I could only imagine a woman as Ianto were it not GDL? *sigh* all this slash/gender meta is screwing with my perception.
