Signature
Christopher Eccleston (/ˈɛkəlstən/; born 16 February 1964) is an English actor whose work has encompassed Hollywood blockbusters and arthouse films, television dramas, Shakespearean stage performances and science fiction, most notably the ninth incarnation of the Doctor in the BBC series Doctor Who (2005). He starred as Matt Jamison in The Leftovers (2014–2017), and has frequently collaborated with filmmakers Danny Boyle and Michael Winterbottom.
Eccleston received widespread acclaim after becoming the first person to portray Doctor Who in almost a decade, winning a National Television Award and getting nominations for a Broadcasting Press Guild Award and BAFTA Cymru Award, before departing the role after one series. He won an International Emmy Award for his performance in Accused (2010). On stage, he has played the title roles in Shakespeare's Hamlet and Macbeth, and starred in Strindberg's Miss Julie, Ibsen's A Doll's House, as well as the Greek tragedy Antigone. Since 2017, he has narrated the documentary series Ambulance.
He first rose to prominence for his portrayal of Derek Bentley in the 1991 film, Let Him Have It. His television performance in Our Friends in the North (1996) resulted in his first BAFTA Award nomination. Seven years later, he got a second nomination for The Second Coming (2003).[1]
