Doctor Who’s Christopher Eccleston to Join “Heroes”

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…)
