Poster "LostInSpace" has transcribed for us the tidbit from this week's TV Guide magazine which reveals the scoop on Christopher Eccleston's upcoming Heroes character. Here it is: Claude, an invisible man played by British actor Christopher Eccleston (Doctor Who), appears January 22. "He's been living with his invisibility for many years and has come to grips with it, so he'll give us a different view into this hero world," [Heroes creator Tim] Kring explains. "He's big, imposing and charismatic, and will become a mentor to Peter - albeit a tough, reluctant and stern one. He'll help Peter learn to use and control his powers."For more on the new issue of TV Guide, including a look at that cover, click here.

The real thanks goes to a US buddy who told me about it (I'm just the messenger here). When we first posted the news for discussion at this thread, folks weren't willing to get excited about the news b/c no one had seen the issue (or scans) yet! I think it's fantastic news. Perfect for the show, the actors and fans. Am looking forward to the next "evolution" of Peter next year. -lis

Wow, an invisible Dr. Who! I'm very happy that Eccleston is joining the cast - I also wonder if he can become visible again, because I can't imagine not seeing his gorgeous face around. (I adore ascetic-looking men!)

I suspect he's learnt to turn it on/off as needed, otherwise how else would you survive for so long? Also, as some have speculated too, when he becomes invisible, hopesfully there'll be cuts where we (viewers) and Peter can see him while the others can't.

Cool, I like Chris E tons. I do wonder how this will interact with Peter though. I had heard somewhere a rumor that Peter's contract had conflicts or wasnt going to be renewed. You cant mentor a character that isnt on the show. I hope that was a bad rumor then. I'd LOVE to see Chris mentoring Peter, and Peter, who was my least favorite character in the whole cast (even lower than the non-heroes) has moved to #5.
(Faves are Nathan, HRG, Claire, and Hiro, in that order).

See, I thought the same thing, but after Homecoming Peter moved up lots for me. Anyone who's willing to go up against a superpowered being without any real superpowers of their own is a true hero to me.

That's great! I loved him as The Doctor. I do hope they don't kill him so he can do future guest spots.

A reluctant mentor hey?
Maybe he can be like Dr Perry Cox and call Peter a different girl's name every episode and slip some valuable lessons into long winded insults.
Hey, Slightly off topic but how does one (or two even) pronounce Christopher Eccleston's surname? is it Ekleston or some foreign sounding combination of c's?

Awesome! Who's next in line to join Heroes? I don't suppose Bill Goldberg can play a part in Heroes. How about Edward Furlong? He made a guest appearance on CSI:NY and he played it well and maybe there's something for him to play a part in Heroes!
Looking forward to the '2nd half' of Season 1! Save New York! Save the World! ;-)

I'm just tickled they named him Claude. There's been something either plot-wise or offshoot referncing to every character's name so far and this is no exception.
The original cinematic Invisible Man was played by Claude Rains. His most famous role and really the only one most people remember him for.
