Obviously depends entirely whether or not such people even existed in their universe. Someone from the movie "how to train your dragon" might recognise his voice. Someone from the Harry Potter universe might recognise him as Barty.

So it goes for all the options. It's unlikely that people from other universes would recognise any of the options as solely whatever Doctor they play. (Since Twelve is the only Doctor Who character in game.) Much more likely to recognise them as the other characters and/or the actor.

IMBD will be your friend in this case :)

Yeah, that's the main kicker. I figure it'll be harder to tell on the posters because of the make-up and glorious mullet and shit but it might be more evident when he's on stage. Especially cos I plan on having him do some rounds being social on Day Two for shenanigans, so everyone will get to see it.

Just remember all the Doctor Who actors did stuff beyond Doctor Who (Some are actually better known for the other things they did).

That said, Six (Colin Baker) and Seven (Sylvester McCoy) were around in the 80s more as the Doctor, but Two (Patrick Troughton) and Eight (Paul McGann) as actors did other things people from the 80s might know. Obviously, David Tennant is too young for the 80s.

And given this is America, it is highly unlikely that any overlays will recognize any of these men from Doctor Who. (It just wasn't known in the states that well back then.)

Very true. This will be hilarious when everyone gets back to Liminal though.
