Christopher Eccleston may sound as though he’s just presenting his subjective take within a tale that definitely has more than just one perspective, but its hard to dispute the actor’s blacklisting claims in general.
A couple years later, Eccleston landed the role of Destro in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, following that with a part in Thor: The Dark World, and he’s come to regret those experiences wholeheartedly.
Since breaking out in 1990, Eccleston enjoyed near-constant roles in films and television up until he entered the Doctor Who-verse in 2005, after which he only managed to find two roles in the next year and a half.
