Eccleston on Heroes?

I'm intrigued by the report on TV Guide (and on Superhero Hype that Christopher Eccleston is going to resurface on my favorite new show of 2006, Heroes.

Of course, there have been a bunch of rumors as far as Eccleston has been concerned post-Doctor Who and none of them have really panned out. He's not the Joker, he wasn't Grand Moff Tarkin, and there's no sign of him as The Prisoner either. Of course, this has an absolute date of January on it -- so we'll see him sooner rather than later. And as Heroes has an international cast, I can see that as a show he'd be an interesting fit for.
