The link was dead, but the idea of Tennant as Hamlet brought back memories of my college Theater courses and a discussion of type casting revolving around the melancholy Dane. The class decided that between two individuals, myself and another student who was five foot nothing, dark haired and complexion and looked like a strong breeze would carry him off, that the other guy 'looked more like a historically accurate Hamlet would look.'

The fact that I looked like a Viking at the time, being of Danish descent, was probably the reason I couldn't stop laughing for several days.
