Young Inspector Morse As The Next Doctor?

Now, before I start this post, I must say that I have never watched "Inspector Morse" prequel "Endeavour" before, but will be watching it soon enough. I saw the trailer for the new "Morse" prequel the other day and thought it looked quite good and the guy who's playing him, Shaun Evans, looks quite interesting too. I've watched some clips online and came to the conclusion that he could play The 12th Doctor perfectly. There's just something Doctor like about him in some of the clips I've watched and he looks good in the promo pics for "Endeavour". He does though look a lot like David Tennant, but that can be changed if he was given the chance as one of the Doctors.
Fans of "Doctor Who" want big actors to play the next Doctor and so do I, but I personally think that the BBC are now tending to look at small time actors for the role of The Doctor, which is good because then we can't judge them and say things like "It's not the best character I've seen him play", etc.
Current Doctor, Matt Smith, was a bit of a nobody before the lead role. I know that "Endeavour" will probably make Evans a much bigger star now, but if not that big, then maybe he should do a screen test for The Doctor over at the BBC because he's still young enough for the role, or do you think the BBC will go for a much younger actor than Smith or Evans? We can clearly say that Benedict Cumberbatch is definitely out of the running now for the role. He's cracked Hollywood and is away now. It's going to be hard enough to make him stick around for a series 4 or 5 of BBC's "Sherlock", let alone a few good seasons of "Doctor Who" also. So yeah, Shaun Evans for, well if not the next Doctor, then one of The Doctors...........maybe even The Master!!!
Here's a link to one of the trailers for "Endeavour" and see what you think of him: http://youtu.be/ISP-ulPNvGc
