AARON ECKHART BIOGRAPHY

Aaron Edward Eckhart was born on March 12, 1968 in Cupertino, California. Her mother – who is a poet and author of children’s books – has English, German, Scottish and Irish ancestry. His father, on the other hand – who works in the field of information technology – has German roots. When the future actor is only 13, his family moves from the United States to England. While in high school, Aaron approaches acting, participating in some student shows and interpreting, in one of these, the famous character of Peanuts Charlie Brown.

In 1985 Eckhart he goes to live in Australia, in Sydney, where he continues his studies and engages in other school plays. He then takes a long vacation – surfing to Hawaii and France – and finally returns to the American continent and graduates in Performing Arts from Brigham Young Univeristy in Provo, Utah. It is in these years that the actor knows Neil LaBute, who directs him at the theater and who in ’97 wants him to be the protagonist, together with Matt Malloy, of his debut film In the society of men, a reflection on the machismo of two frustrated and up-and-coming thirties. Aaron Eckhart, who in the meantime has moved to New York and has tried to break through in advertising and television, is happy to collaborate with his director friend. Together the two will do too Friends & neighbors, Betty Love, The chosen one and especially Possession – a romantic story. In the latter, which recorded a moderate success with the public, Aaron plays the part of a poetry scholar and shares the set with Gwyneth Paltrow. Among the films of the period, they are worth mentioning Erin Brockovich is The promise, in which the actor is a young detective who joins a more experienced investigator with the face of Jack Nicholson.

For Eckarth – who in the early 2000s starred with Ben Affleck in Paycheck and with Hilary Swank in the disaster movie The Core – the real stroke of luck is Thank you for Smoking, the story of a lobbyist who fights for the defense of smoking. After this beautiful role, which leads him straight to the Golden Globe nomination, the actor sees his prices increase rapidly. Shortly thereafter, the master of the thriller Brian De Palma includes him in the cast of Black Dahlia, proposing the part of the Next Leland “Lee” Blanchard. Another golden opportunity for ours is The dark Knight, the second film in the trilogy of Batman directed by Christopher Nolan in which the character of Harvey Dent alias Two faces, a respectable villain.

Appreciated for his talent and versatility, Aaron Eckhart begins to be called by the most disparate directors and often changes cinematic genre, passing from more or less sentimental comedy (Tastes and disagreements, Something special), to drama – of which a wonderful example is Rabbit Hole, painful story of a couple struggling with a serious bereavement. Over the next decade, the actor specializes in high-budget films often full of action scenes: science fiction World Invasion, the adrenaline The Expatriate is Power attack – Olympus Has Fallen, a political thriller by Antoine Fuqua in which he is the President of the United States Benjamin Asher followed by, in 2016, Attack on power 2, always starring Gerard Butler. Not so “noisy”, but still important, at least from a production point of view, it is I, Frankenstein, yet another version for the big screen of the novel by Mary Shelley.

Always loyal to independent cinema, which launched it and which in 2011 attracted him again with The Rum Diary, Aaron Eckhart will appear soon in Sully, the film by Clint Eastwood with Tom Hanks.
