Doctor Who meets Heroes

I'm sure many of you have heard the rumors circulating about Christopher Eccleston, The Doctor from season one of the new Doctor Who joining the cast of NBC's Heroes. Any Doctor Who fan is surely super-excited about this, as Eccleston was arguably the finest Doctor in Who history. David Tennant is great, but he's not half the Time Lord Chris Eccleston was.

But I digress. The rumor has been confirmed by none other than TV Guide; Eccleston will be playing an invisible man on Heroes starting with the January 22nd episode. Apparently, the character has had powers for longer than the current main cast; he's been dealing with invisibility issues "for years" according to Tim Kring (creator of the prime-time hit).

If you're a Doctor Who fan and not yet a Heroes watcher, I suggest you catch up for this. You can find all of the episodes of Heroes so far over at NBC.com for free viewing (pretty cool, huh?). And if you're already a dedicated Heroes fanatic and haven't yet seen Chris Eccleston in action, the complete first season of Doctor Who is now out on DVD. If you don't love it, you weren't paying attention.
