I think [Eccleston's] quite versatile, and so he understandably got annoyed by being typecast and restricted by the role of the Doctor.
How was he type cast and restricted by being The Doctor? He had every choice in the world to refuse the role if he had other things going.
And as for coming across as an a****le, It may have been a stereotype, but it could have also been the way he is. I mean, he was invited back for a part in the 50th special, a ONCE in a lifetime thing, and he simply refused. I might not fully understand his point of view, but most people say they are so honored when they get asked back for a part of a role in an episode.
From my PoV, he could have at least gone to humour the Who-niverse despite his personal interests.
