Christopher Eccleston is an English actor whose work has encompassed Hollywood blockbusters and arthouse films, television dramas, Shakespearean stage performances and science fiction.

Eccleston's professional stage debut was as Pablo Gonzalez in the Bristol Old Vic's April-May 1989 production of A Streetcar Named Desire.[1][2] His first on-screen role was in the 1990 television film Blood Rights.[3] Eccleston's film debut, playing Derek Bentley in Let Him Have It (1991), was his breakout role.[2][4] A regular part as DCI Bilborough in the crime drama Cracker (1993–94) brought him widespread recognition in the UK.[3][5] Following a role in Danny Boyle's film Shallow Grave (1994),[6] he was nominated for the BAFTA TV Award for Best Actor for playing Nicky Hutchinson in the BBC Two television drama Our Friends in the North (1996).[7][8] He also starred in Jimmy McGovern's television film Hillsborough (1996).[9]

Eccleston subsequently appeared in a wide variety of British and American films, such as Michael Winterbottom's Jude (1996) and 24 Hour Party People (2002), Boyle's 28 Days Later (2002), Gone in 60 Seconds (2000) and Revengers Tragedy (2002).[10] Eccleston played the lead role in Hamlet at the West Yorkshire Playhouse in 2002.[11] He received a second BAFTA nomination for playing Stephen Baxter, a Mancunian everyman who learns he is the son of God, in the ITV television drama serial The Second Coming (2003).[12][13]

Eccleston found international popularity with his lead role as the ninth incarnation of the Doctor in the BBC science fiction series Doctor Who (2005).[2] He was nominated for a Broadcasting Press Guild Award and a BAFTA Cymru Award for Best Actor,[14][15] and was voted Most Popular Actor at the National Television Awards.[16][17] He left the role after one series, and since 2021 has reprised the role in a series of licensed audio dramas for Big Finish Productions.[18][19] Eccleston won an International Emmy Award for starring in a 2010 episode of McGovern's anthology drama Accused.[20][21] He played villainous roles in the action film G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009)[22][23] and the Marvel Cinematic Universe superhero film Thor: The Dark World (2013).[24]

He starred as Matt Jamison on the HBO drama series The Leftovers (2014–2017),[25][26] earning two consecutive nominations for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series at the Critics' Choice Television Awards.[27][28] He was nominated for an International Emmy Award for Best Actor for his role in the television miniseries Come Home (2018).[29][30] Eccleston played the title role in the Royal Shakespeare Company's production of Macbeth in 2018.[31] From 2016 to 2020, he played Maurice Scott in the drama series The A Word.[32][33] Since 2022, he played Fagin in the BBC family comedy drama series Dodger.[34][35]
