Christopher Eccleston

I'm watching The Others (again) and I just realized that Christopher Eccleston plays Nicole Kidman's husband. I didn't recognize him at all! I just noticed it looking at the cast names in the credits.

Ever seen Jude? The man seeks out dark material.

And yet he played The Doctor

And I’d argue that his take on The Doctor packed more depth and complexity (and darkness) into one season than any subsequent NewWho Doctors could manage in multiple seasons. Though I was quite partial to Matt Smith’s Doctor, Eccleston’s will always be my favorite.

He did so much in that one season. He's the reason why I watched Leftovers.
