Christopher Eccleston is the Villain Destro in G.I. Joe
Heroes fans have been wondering where Claude the Invisible Man has been keeping himself lately. Or, more specifically, where has Christopher Eccleston, the actor who plays Claude, and the former Doctor Who, been doing with his time that he isn’t spending on Heroes? Last year, Eccleston was one of the stars of the fantasy movie “The Seeker”, and soon, Eccleston will be playing the villain Destro in the upcoming live-action “G.I. Joe” movie, to be directed by Stephen Sommers of “Mummy” and “Van Helsing” fame.
