I did hear that, and I am so thrilled. Fantastic news, because I love him and he should be on all TV shows and in every film. ---

I would love that but I won’t get too excited about it until confirmed. After all the Sean Bean rumor didn’t pan out either. Anyone have a cite? IMHO Eccelston was the best Doctor Who by far. I was very sorry to see him go. ---

The Eccleston news was reported by several generally reliable sources, rather than an IMDb listing submitted by a random member of the public. ---

[QUOTE=Archergal] I read it on [Slice of Sci-fi News](http://www.sliceofscifi.com/2006/11/19/eccelston-is-a-hero/) [/QUOTE] The same article says George Takei is going to play Hiro’s father. Does Takei speak Japanese? He was born in America, but he did spend time in an internment camp. Maybe he can pull it off.
