TV Guide’s Michael Ausiello has just broken what amounts to amazing news in regards to casting for “Heroes”. According to his Ask Ausiello column, Ausiello says that Christopher Eccleston, who was Doctor Who in the British series’ latest incarnation but left after the first year, will be joining the cast of “Heroes”! Here’s what Ausiello said:
Fanboys, prepare to piddle yourself. Christopher Eccleston � the original Dr. Who from the current Sci Fi/BBC series � is joining the cast in January in a really super (tee-hee) role. Speaking of cool casting, wait until you see who’s ******* ****’s ****. You’re going to flip.
Of course the asterisk isn’t my doing, but Ausiello’s way of teasing the audience. Just who will Eccleston be playing? Sylar, perhaps? Naaaaaaaah. (Or maybe…)
Here are some photos of Christopher Eccleston:
Thanks, Kel. No one seems to listen when I say that.:) And Chris hasn't abandoned Heroes either. ...
Oh My God!! O_O 
In my opinion, I will love to see heroes again. It dissapointed me that heroes was in a wait til ...
He didn't abandon Dr Who - the Ninth Doctor was only ever meant to be there for one season.

I really love Christopher Eccleston because will let’s just say that he’s cute!!! when I first watched him as the 9th doctor, I really enjoyed it. I really think that he was the best 9th doctor like ever. But it’s just sad that Chris only last one year on the show of doctor.who. Anyway I still watch doctor.who but this time
it’s on Monday’s on CBC. I really think Chris is hot.

He plays a dude that can become invisible. He has to help matt to control his ability so that he doesnt blow up new york.

I love Chris Eccleston! I think he will be as great in Heroes as he was in Dr Who. So he plays an invisible guy? That’s useful. Is that why he doesn’t appear till halfway through the series?
Alan Richardson on 18 September 2007:
I absolutely loved Christopher in the Dr Who series and having only just started to watch the Heroes series I am delighted that he is appearing in the show.
Whatever character he plays,will be played perfectly because Christopher is one of the best.
Great news.
