Whether or not J. Michael Straczynski would ever even get a chance to interview for the job is another story entirely.
According to the rejection, no American has written for Doctor Who in the franchise’s history, so regardless of how many accolades Straczynski may have, the fact he wasn’t born in the U.K. may make it all null and void.
Noted horror writer and son of Stephen King Joe Hill revealed (via The Horror Show) he pitched a couple of ideas to write for the show some time ago, only to get a pretty scathing rejection in response.
