He's playing the Roddy McDowall role so he's not meant to be scary.
Doctor Who... Page 632
Yes, he was a fraud IIRC.
He's not even a main character is he? Unlikely to even be on a poster.
He'll probably be more prominent on the UK poster than the US one. Although Roddy's part was quite big in the original. It's the thing I remember most.
Apparently Tennant's character does dress a bit matrix-y when he's not dressed as his Russell Brand looking stage persona, so it might not look too different to that!
As for the posters, we'll probably get posters with him here in blighty, due to his fame here.
Just not Matrix-photoshop jobbies 
So, is he playing the guy on TV who presents the show thingy?
I thought he was playing the scary vampire next door.

You misthunk. He's the cowardly late night TV star.
That character had chemistry with Tennant's Doctor, won't be as interesting with Smith.
Would still be good to see him again, though.
urgh. Not that 'Master' again.
Simm was ace, although I didn't like the 'flying' and Palpatine-like powers.
Honestly??
I loved the old chap as the Master but Simm was to gurning, and had dreadful dialogue. Like an escapee from Primeval. Master is meant to be devious and evil not wise cracking.
I liked it.

I gathered.
I like John Simm a lot but his Master was dissapointing, and the episodes he was in didn't help.
Flying Angel Doctor, a Billion Shakey faced Masters etc
