Doctor Who 2005 Cast: Where Are They Now?
1. Christopher Eccleston
Christopher Eccleston's fantastic performance as the Ninth Doctor set the stage for over 15 years (and counting!) of Doctor Who dominance on the small screen.
Due to the controversy surrounding his departure at the end of the 2005 series, he hasn't yet returned to the show physically, but he has lent his voice to a series of Ninth Doctor audio adventures for Big Finish, which are due for release in 2021.
Prior to joining Doctor Who, Eccleston was already a familiar face on the big screen, and after he regenerated, that didn't change. He continued to appear in films, but because he had bad experiences making blockbusters like G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra and Thor: The Dark World, his movie work has taken a backseat to his TV work in recent years.
He appeared in HBO's The Leftovers from 2014 to 2017, and worked with the BBC once again on the popular drama series The A Word, which aired Series 3 in 2020.
Looking ahead, he's set to appear alongside Wonder Woman's Connie Nielsen in the psychological drama series Close To Me, and with Doctor Who's 60th anniversary just around the corner, who knows - the Ninth Doctor might be about to make a grand onscreen comeback.
