First post on Board - so hallo everyone.
My immediate thought was that in The Beast Below, the Doctor when planning and acting to destroy the intelligence centre of the Space Whale said he would have to chose a new name because he wouldn't be "The Doctor" any more. So this Hurt character is a regeneration who has done something terrible by Timelord standards, and most people here think it is the ending of the Time War and the way that the Doctor ended it. However, the Moff might have something even worse in mind !

My best guess is what I previously wrote, or he is indeed pre-Doctor, before he nicked the Tardis. I'm sure I remember somewhere along the timeline someone (possibly even the Doctor himself) say that he was in prison, escaped, then stole the Tardis (I probably have that wrong cos I've watched so much Who over the years but it's something I keep remembering).
Also I'm sure I'm not the only one to notice on most regenerations the Doctor get's progressively younger looking, definitely in this reboot he does, but also in the original series he did too mostly, it was probably unintentional at first, but if the writers realised and decided to use it long term, it would also support the "pre-Doctor" theory, what with Hurt-Doctor looking like he's just picked up his pension from the Post Office.

On the subject of the actors playing the Doctor getting younger, I'm fairly sure I remember hearing that when Moffat took over, he allegedly wanted an older Doctor than Tennant but he was blown away by Smith's acting when he auditioned (can anybody confirm or otherwise?). I know I was part of the "he's too young!" crowd until I actually watched The Eleventh Hour, and now, while I would appreciate a slightly more mature actor in the role once Smith steps down, I think acting ability and an understanding of the role prove more important.And now it's time for one last bow, like all your other selves. Eleven's hour is over now... the clock is striking Twelve's.

Robert Carlisle was Moff's first choice iirc.

But what do you guys say to my theorie the Hurt Doctor isn't a specific regeneration (past or future) but something diffrent, something that lys underneth his character, or something? Completly rubbish or a possibility?Nobody asked me, if I wanted to live. So don't anyone tell me how I shoul lead my life.
