I think Matt Smith was mis-cast as Prince Phillip. First, his face which I find sort of strange and fetal. The real Prin

tbh, this is the only thing stopping me from watching this show! I've noticed British TV shows often don't have a good choice of actors..dunno if it's a matter of choice or some convention they adhere to! Matt Smith is hardwired in my brain as The Doctor and it's very hard to get out of such a character..
Also,I'm sure Prince Philip was just a human and not perfect physically or anyhow as people want him to be here but still, they should've chosen a fresh face for such a historical show that could match the persona of Philip -

The way Matt Smith plays him he's more like a bratty child
The way he looks up at her from under those deep-set eyes is absurd
lol! But yes, I agree he's not a good cast for this. When I saw him on the trailer, I thought I might not like the show because of him. I'm glad I decided to watch because it's turned out to be one of the best shows on tv, at the moment (imho). (I still don't like him though). -

I like the casting. I find Matt Smith attractive enough and I think he does a great job portraying Phillip.
Doctor Who didn't spring to my mind during watching, which I attribute to Matt's nuanced acting and the fact that I've never been too fond of 11th Doctor (10th is my favorite.)

I don't think I've seen him in anything else and I'm pretty impressed with him in this. For the first time I'm finding Philip likable, despite how under his wife's thumb he was. I also think he's handsome enough, and his delivery of the one liners is great.
