Series Three Casting

According to the Daily Mail there are a couple of new pieces of casting for the third series of Doctor Who. Since we had seen pictures of them shooting the Shakespeare episode, it was almost certain that they had cast that character, and it looks like Dean Lennox Kelly will be playing the role.

Also, assuming that the article is correct, we'll see the new companion's family just like we saw Rose's. Reggie Yates is set to play his brother. Trevor Laird will be her dad, Adjoa Andoh her mother, and Gugu Mbatha-Raw as her sister.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, these are all actors that aren't immediately known in America. I'm curious if we'll ever see a well-known American actor make an appearance, actually.

I think the big piece of this is yes, Martha will bring with her additional supporting characters just like Rose did -- that's one of the innovations of the new series that I think proved fairly successful, especially as the series continues.

Additional Note:The Official Site has more on all of this as well.
