The Rachel of the title is the younger sister of an up-and-coming marketing executive who has just secured a contract with a wealthy but repulsive millionaire who is into toxic waste, which he stores in secret for large sums of money. Rachel finds that, through a large bank of video screens in her sister's apartment, her wishes can come true when she brings to life the image on an anti-pollution poster.

1964. február 16-án született egy munkásosztálybeli családban Salfordban, Elsie és Ronnie Eccleston fiaként. Két testvére van, Alan és Keith, akik nyolc évvel idősebbek nála. Vallásos neveltetéséről így nyilatkozott: "Apám családja katolikus volt. Anyukám nagyon anglikán volt - még mindig az -, de ez nekem nem jött be." A család egy kis sorházban élt a Blodwell Streeten, mielőtt Little Hultonba költöztek, amikor Eccleston hét hónapos volt. A Joseph Eastham High Schoolba járt.

19 éves korában olyan televíziós drámák inspirálták a színészkedésre, mint a Boys from the Blackstuff. Elvégezte a Salford Tech kétéves előadóművészi alapozó tanfolyamát, majd a Central School of Speech and Drama képzését folytatta.

Első filmszerepe Az igazság malmai című filmben volt. 1992-ben a Friday on my Mind című sorozatban szerepelt. 2002-ben szerepelt a Revengers Tragedy című filmben. 2005-ben a Ki vagy, doki? című sorozatban szerepelt. 2006-ban a Perfect Parents című filmben szerepelt. 2007-ben szerepelt a Hősök című sorozatban. 2009-ben a G.

Türkçe

biography:
Christopher Eccleston, 16 Şubat 1964 tarihinde Salford, İngiltere'de dünyaya gelmiştir. İşçi sınıfı bir ailenin üç oğlundan en küçüğü olarak büyüyen Eccleston, oyunculuğa olan tutkusunu genç yaşlarda keşfederek Londra'daki prestijli Central School of Speech and Drama'da eğitim aldı. Kariyerinin başlarında tiyatro sahnelerinde yeteneğini bileyen aktör, sinemadaki ilk önemli çıkışını Danny Boyle'un yönettiği "Mezarını Derin Kaz" (Shallow Grave) (1994) filmiyle yaptı. Bu yapım, onun yoğun, ciddi ve karakteristik oyunculuk tarzını sinemaya taşıdığı ilk büyük proje oldu. Ardından Michael Winterbottom'ın "Jude" (1996) filmindeki başrolü ve "Elizabeth" (1998) gibi önemli yapımlardaki performanslarıyla İngiliz sinemasının en saygın dram oyuncularından biri haline geldi.

Televizyon dünyasında büyük bir saygınlık kazanan Eccleston, Peter Flannery’nin yazdığı "Our Friends in the North" (1996) dizisinde canlandırdığı Nicky Hutchinson karakteriyle hem eleştirmenlerin hem de izleyicilerin takdirini topladı. Ancak küresel popüler kültür tarihindeki yerini perçinleyen rolü, 2005 yılında BBC'nin efsanevi bilimkurgu dizisi "Doctor Who"nun modern dönemine yeniden başlamasıyla geldi. Dizinin dokuzuncu "Doktor"u olarak seriye modern, enerjik ve biraz da melankolik bir soluk getiren Eccleston, karakterin yeniden popülerleşmesinde kilit bir rol oynadı. Her ne kadar seriden sadece bir sezon sonra ayrılmış olsa da, hayranlar arasında "Doktor" imajını yeniden tanımlayan isim olarak özel bir yere sahiptir.

Kariyerini farklı türler arasında ustalıkla bölen Eccleston, aksiyon ve fantastik yapımlarda da dikkat çekici roller üstlendi. "60 Saniye" (Gone in 60 Seconds) (2000) filmindeki kötü adam rolü ve "28 Gün Sonra" (28 Days Later) (2002) filminde canlandırdığı sert asker Binbaşı Henry West karakteri ile dünya çapında tanınırlığını pekiştirdi. Ayrıca Marvel Sinematik Evreni'ne "Thor: Karanlık Dünya" (Thor: The Dark World) (2013) filmindeki karanlık elf Malekith karakteriyle giriş yaptı. "Heroes" (2007) dizisindeki Claude Rains rolüyle Amerikan televizyonlarına da damgasını vurdu.

İngiliz tiyatrosunun en zorlu klasikleri olan Shakespeare oyunlarında (Macbeth, Hamlet) sergilediği performanslarla tiyatro sahnesindeki ağırlığını koruyan aktör, son yıllarda "The Leftovers" (2014-2017) dizisindeki Matt Jamison karakteriyle eleştirmenlerden tam not alarak dramatik derinliğini bir kez daha gözler önüne serdi. Kendi otobiyografisinde de dürüstçe paylaştığı zorlu yaşam mücadeleleri ve sektördeki duruşuyla tanınan Christopher Eccleston, hem aksiyon kahramanlarını hem de trajik figürleri aynı inandırıcılıkla canlandırabilen, günümüz İngiliz sinema ve tiyatrosunun en tutarlı ve entelektüel aktörlerinden biri olarak kariyerini sürdürmektedir.
