Biografia
Mr. Eckhart has earned considerable acclaim for his film work, including Golden Globe and Independent Spirit Award nominations for starring in Jason Reitman's feature directorial debut Thank You for Smoking. He first came to critical and industry attention starring in Neil LaBute's feature directorial debut, In the Company of Men, for which he won the Independent Spirit Award for Best Male Lead.
Among his other memorable performances have been ones in Steven Soderbergh's Erin Brockovich, opposite Julia Roberts; Christopher Nolan's blockbuster The Dark Knight, alongside Christian Bale and Heath Ledger; and, again earning a Spirit Award nomination, John Cameron Mitchell's Rabbit Hole, with Nicole Kidman and Miles Teller, adapted by David Lindsay-Abaire from the latter's Pulitzer Prize-winning play.
In London Has Fallen, Aaron Eckhart reprised the role of President Asher that he originated in the sleeper hit Olympus Has Fallen, directed by Antoine Fuqua.
Originally from Northern California, Mr. Eckhart studied theatre and film at Brigham Young University, where he met Neil LaBute and appeared in many of the latter's plays. In addition to In the Company of Men, their films together include Possession, Nurse Betty, and Your Friends & Neighbors.
Among Mr. Eckhart's other film credits are Sean Penn's The Pledge, alongside Jack Nicholson; Ron Howard's The Missing, with Cate Blanchett and Tommy Lee Jones; Bruce Robinson's The Rum Diary, opposite Johnny Depp; Oliver Stone's Any Given Sunday; Scott Hicks' No Reservations, with Catherine Zeta-Jones; Alan Ball's Towelhead; Brandon Camp's Love Happens, opposite Jennifer Aniston; Bernie Goldmann and Melisa Wallack's Meet Bill; John Duigan's Molly, with Elisabeth Shue; Hans Canosa's Conversations with Other Women, opposite Helena Bonham Carter; Angelo Pizzo's My All American, in which he starred as legendary Texas football coach Darrell Royal; and Jonathan Liebesman's sci-fi action hit Battle Los Angeles.
He can be seen starring in Brad Peyton's thriller Incarnate; in Ben Younger's Bleed for This, as real-life boxing trainer Kevin Rooney opposite Miles Teller as Vinny Pazienza; and in another true-life drama, Clint Eastwood's Sully, as co-pilot Jeff Skiles alongside Tom Hanks as Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger.
Mr. Eckhart's stage credits include Michael Cristofer's Amazing Grace, opposite Marsha Mason.
