Christopher Eccleston is to star in TV series Heroes after wowing U.S. audiences with his portrayal of the Time Lord in cult British TV show Doctor Who. The 42-year-old actor is to appear in the sci-fi drama, which sees a group of people unite to stop a nuclear explosion after realizing they have superpowers, but bosses won’t reveal which part he’s signed on to play. However, there are rumors the star could take the role of mystery serial killer Syler. A show insider told British newspaper Daily Star, "Chris is a fantastic actor, and we’re delighted to have him on board. No one has seen Syler and Christopher could be perfect as the bad guy."
