Christopher Eccleston (born on February 16 1964) is an English stage, television and film actor, best known for his roles in several high profile "prestige" films and television series and for playing the ninth incarnation of the Doctor in Doctor Who.
Biography
Eccleston was born in in Salford, Lancashire, but as a child his ambition was to play football for his beloved Manchester United. However, he found himself to be a much better actor than he was a footballer, and inspired by television dramas such as Boys from the Blackstuff, he took to acting as his profession.
Eccleston trained at the Central School of Speech and Drama and first came to public attention as Derek Bentley in the 1991 film Let Him Have It, based on true events. However, it was a regular role in the TV series Cracker (1993–94) — culminating in his character's dramatic death in the second series — that made him a recognisable figure in the UK.
