Aaron Edward Eckhart (born March 12, 1968) is an American actor. Born in Cupertino, California, Eckhart moved to the United Kingdom at an early age. He began his acting career by performing in school plays, before moving to Australia for his high school senior year. He left high school without graduating, but earned a diploma through a professional education course, and then graduated from Brigham Young University (BYU) in Utah, U.S., in 1994 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in film.

As an undergraduate at BYU, Eckhart met director and writer Neil LaBute, who cast Eckhart in several of LaBute's original plays. Five years later Eckhart made a debut as an unctuous, sociopathic womanizer in LaBute's black comedy film In the Company of Men (1997), followed by appearances in three more of the director's films.

Eckhart gained wide recognition as George in

Thank You for Smoking. In 2008 he played a major role in Christopher Nolan's blockbuster Batman film The Dark Knight as District Attorney Harvey Dent / Two-Face
.

He went on to appear in Love Happens, Rabbit Hole, Battle: Los Angeles, The Rum Diary, Olympus Has Fallen and its sequel, I, Frankenstein, Sully, and Midway.

Early life

Eckhart was born on March 12, 1968

mission in France and Switzerland.[7][8] Eckhart's family relocated to the United Kingdom in 1981,[2][9] following his father's job in information technology.[10] During their time in the United Kingdom, the family moved around Surrey, England, living in towns such as Cobham,[10] Ripley, and Walton-on-Thames.[11] Eckhart attended American Community School,[10] where he was first introduced to acting, starring in a school production as Charlie Brown.[12][13]

In 1985, Eckhart moved to Australia and settled in Sydney, where he attended American International School of Sydney for his high school senior year; he further developed his acting skills in productions like Waiting for Godot, where he admits that he gave a "terrible" performance.[14] In the autumn of his senior year,[4] Eckhart left school to take a job at the Warringah Mall movie theater.[15][16] He eventually earned his diploma through a professional education course.[17] This also allowed Eckhart time to enjoy a year of surfing in Hawaii and France, as well as skiing in the Alps.[2][18] In 1988, Eckhart returned to the United States and enrolled as a film major at Brigham Young University–Hawaii,[19] but later transferred to Brigham Young University (BYU) in Provo, Utah.[2] He graduated in 1994 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree.[15][20] He also studied acting at the William Esper Studio.[21][22]

Career

Early work

While at Brigham Young University,[23] Eckhart appeared in the Mormon-themed film Godly Sorrow, and the role marked his professional debut. At this time he met director/writer Neil LaBute,[23] who cast Eckhart in several of LaBute's original plays.[24] After graduating from BYU, Eckhart moved to New York City, acquired an agent, and took various occasional jobs, including bartending, bus driving, and construction work.[13] His first television roles were in commercials. In 1994, he appeared as an extra on the television drama series Beverly Hills, 90210.[13][25] Eckhart followed this small part with roles in documentary re-enactments (Ancient Secrets of the Bible: Samson), made-for-television movies, and short-lived programs like Aliens in the Family.[17]

In 1997, Eckhart was approached by Neil LaBute to star in a film adaptation of LaBute's stage play

Premiere magazine.[33]

The following year Eckhart starred in another LaBute feature, Your Friends & Neighbors (1998),[20][23] as Barry, a sexually frustrated husband in a dysfunctional marriage. For the role Eckhart was required to gain weight.[34] In 1999, he starred opposite Elisabeth Shue in Molly, a romantic comedy-drama in which he played the self-absorbed brother of an autistic woman who was cured by surgery.[35] Eckhart also starred that year as a football coach, an offensive coordinator in Oliver Stone's Any Given Sunday.[36]

Critical success

Eckhart first gained wide exposure in 2000 as George, a ponytailed, goateed biker, in Steven Soderbergh's drama Erin Brockovich.[37] The film was met with reasonable reviews,[38] and was a box office success, earning $256 million worldwide.[39] His performance was well received by critics; Entertainment Weekly's Owen Gleiberman wrote that Eckhart "may be playing a bit of an ideal [...] but he makes goodness as palpable as he did yuppie evil in 'In the Company of Men'."[40] In an August 2004 interview, Eckhart claimed that he had not worked for nearly a year before he was cast in the movie. "I felt like I sort of was getting away from what I wanted to do as an actor. [...] I had nine months off, but it wasn't a vacation. Sure, I didn't earn any money for nine months, but every day I was reading scripts, I was producing my own material, I was taking meetings, I was working on my craft."[41]

Following the release of Erin Brockovich, Eckhart co-starred with

Man Booker Prize-winning novel Possession (2002).[45] In 2003, Eckhart co-starred with Hilary Swank in The Core, a film about a geophysicist who tries to detonate a nuclear device in order to save the world from destruction.[46] The film was critically and financially unsuccessful.[47][48] Also in 2003, he appeared in The Missing, in which he played Cate Blanchett's lover,[49] and in the action-thriller Paycheck opposite Ben Affleck.[50] Paycheck, based on a short story by science fiction writer Philip K. Dick, garnered generally negative reception.[51] Film critic Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film two stars (out of four), saying that he "enjoyed the movie" but felt that it "exploits [Dick's story] for its action and plot potential, but never really develops it."[52]

The following year, away from film, Eckhart guest starred in two episodes of

box office disappointment, earning $11 million worldwide.[59] Also in 2004, Eckhart starred on the London stage, opposite Julia Stiles, in David Mamet's Oleanna at the Garrick Theatre. The drama ran until mid-2004.[60] For this performance, Eckhart received favorable critical reviews.[41][61] In 2005, returning to film, Eckhart appeared in Neverwas as a therapist who takes a job at a rundown mental hospital that once treated his father (Nick Nolte). The feature was never given a full theatrical release, eventually being released straight to DVD in 2007.[62]

Worldwide recognition

Eckhart's next project was

Best Actor in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy.[68] A contributor of USA Today wrote that he gave a "standout, whip-smart performance" citing that as Nick Naylor he kept him "likable even in his cynicism."[69] In the Seattle Post-Intelligencer review of the film, it was reported that "Under his chummy but compassionless smile" Eckhart radiated charm and "Naylor's true joys: manipulating arguments, steering debate, cooking words."[70]

In this same year, he starred with

Time Out magazine praised Eckhart and co-star Hilary Swank for their performances, writing "...both [are] great in their secondary roles."[77]

Internationally viewed as a

eponymous character, a sad executive working at his father-in-law's bank.[83][84] He gained 30 pounds and donned a fat suit for the role.[26][85]

San Diego Comic-Con International
in July 2013

Also in 2008, Eckhart portrayed the comic book character

Premiere magazine also enjoyed his performance, noting that he "makes you believe in his ill-fated ambition ... of morphing into the conniving Two-Face."[93]

Following the success of The Dark Knight, Eckhart next appeared in Alan Ball's Towelhead (2008), an adaption of the Alicia Erian novel of the same name, in which he played a Gulf War Army reservist who sexually abuses his 13-year-old Arab-American neighbor.[94] The film was screened under the name Nothing is Private at the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival.[95] When asked about the sex scenes, Eckhart said: "Those were difficult times .... The way I did it was to really trust Alan. It was in the words. I really trusted Summer [Bishil], and I tried to get her to trust me, to build a relationship when we were doing physical scenes. We'd really rehearse them mechanically, and I'd say, 'OK, I'm going to put my hand here, I'm going to do this.' ... I think I found it more difficult."[96] Towelhead was critically and financially unsuccessful.[97][98]

He next co-starred with

U.S. President who is taken hostage, in the 2013 action thriller Olympus Has Fallen, opposite Gerard Butler, and reprised the role in its 2016 sequel London Has Fallen.[109]

In 2019 he starred in Roland Emmerich’s blockbuster movie Midway, which also starred Ed Skrein, Patrick Wilson, Dennis Quaid and Woody Harrelson.[110]

Personal life

Eckhart met actress Emily Cline during the filming of In the Company of Men and they became engaged, but they separated in 1998.[20][60] He has always been reluctant to speak about his relationships in interviews.[4] Eckhart dated songwriter and member of SHeDAISY Kristyn Osborn from 2006 to 2007.[20][60] He appeared in the group's video for their song "I'm Taking the Wheel".[60]

Eckhart has noted that hypnosis helped him to quit drinking, smoking, and partying,[4][111] and that he undertakes amateur photography in his spare time.[112]
