Aaron Eckhart
Eckhart has earned considerable acclaim for his roles in films, including the award-winning Erin Brockovich, opposite Julia Roberts, for director Steven Soderbergh. Yet, it was his portrayal of a love-scorned, vengeful man in Neil LaBute's controversial film In the Company of Men which first catapulted him into stardom. This incendiary satire, in which Eckhart made his notable film debut, became one of the highest grossing independent movies of 1997.
Originally from Northern California, Eckhart studied film and theater at Brigham Young University, where he met Neil LaBute and appeared in many of his plays. In addition to Possession and In the Company of Men, Eckhart has starred in two other LaBute films: Nurse Betty, opposite Renee Zellweger, and Your Friends & Neighbors.
Eckhart's other film credits include Sean Penn's The Pledge, with Jack Nicholson, Oliver Stone's Any Given Sunday and Molly, with Elisabeth Shue. He has also worked and studied in New York, and his theater credits include Michael Cristofer's Amazing Grace, opposite Marsha Mason.
