Identify the Mystery Doctor

The next issue of Dreamwatch magazine will feature a story in which Doctor Who fans will be asked to help out with a mystery, according to Brian Robb, managing editor of Titan Magazines (publishers of Dreamwatch). Says the article, "The Doctor Who Restoration Team have just turned up Sylvester McCoy's audition tape which features not only Sylvester but two other actors who were up for the role. The first actor is Dermot Crowley, best known for his role of General Crix Madine in Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi, but who is the mystery man, all teeth and curls... And 'tache! The tape features lengthy auditions by three actors (including Sylvester McCoy) with Janet Fielding providing the role of companion Mel and other foils to test the actors' talents. It's also interesting in that it features Mel's leaving scene almost as it was screened in Dragonfire, which indicates it was written well before Bonnie Langford actually left the show. Steve Roberts at the Restoration Team says it may never appear on DVD if actors don't give permission for use. Can you help identify the mystery actor who once auditioned for the role of the seventh Doctor?" Below are thumbnails of three photos, two of the actor by himself, the other with Janet Fielding; click on each for a larger version. If you believe you know who the actor is, email Outpost Gallifrey and we'll forward your email to Brian (but please only do so if you know who it is, not if you're being speculative or jokey!)
