Isn't that the dude from Doctor Who?

 

NBC has announced that Christopher Eccleston will appear in multiple episodes of their hit show, Heroes.

 

Eccleston will play an invisible man named Claude. The name is a throwback to the 1933 classic sci fi film, The Invisible Man, who's star was named Claude Rains.

 

Some great quotes from Sci Fi Wire:

 

 

"So far, he's been in four, and then we're trying to work out his dates with his movie that he's doing," said creator and executive producer Tim Kring. "We'd like to have him come and play with us for a while."

 

"His character acts as a sort of mentor for Milo's character, Peter, who's having trouble controlling all of these crazy powers that he seems to have."

 

"So he runs into this character, literally, and forces him, basically, to teach him what's going on and to tell him what's going on. And it's the first indication for the audience that these powers have been around longer than we seem to have sensed it as an audience based on what we've seen so far."

It is. He first appears in this week's episode.

I am SO excited that it is coming back this week! It's the only tv show I watch.

I think we're getiing this show over here in Feb so I'll be able to join in the threads about it. :D

And I will join in once I find a copy online to download! 8)

I think Karana watched the first few episodes online... onnnnn youtube?? Some networks are also offering shows for download on their official websites, I know a few people who watched Lost that way.

I didn't even know it was returning tomorrow night. I will be watching it and we can revive our old Heroes post.

For right now... the first 11 episodes are available for viewing on NBC.com
