A career across different kinds of conflict
Aaron Eckhart was born in Cupertino, California, on 12 March 1968. His film work has ranged from independent drama and satire to action and superhero films.
One of his early prominent collaborations with filmmaker Neil LaBute was In the Company of Men. He later appeared in LaBute’s Your Friends & Neighbors and Nurse Betty.
In Thank You for Smoking, Eckhart played Nick Naylor, a tobacco spokesman whose gift for argument drives the satire. The role earned a Golden Globe nomination.
The Dark Knight cast him as Harvey Dent, Gotham’s district attorney. Dent’s changing circumstances place him at the centre of the film’s questions about justice and compromise.
