Aaron Eckhart, producer and actor from the United States, was born in California, and more specifically, in Santa Clara, March 12, 1968. His father worked in the field of information technology, and his mother wrote books for children.
Children and teenagers
The first years of his life, Aaron Eckhart, whose biography is of great interest to fans, spent in Cupertino, and when he reached a more conscious age, he moved with his family first to England, and after a while - to Australia.
The boy regularly attended The Church of Latter-day Saints. But he didn’t work out with his studies, and he dropped out of school, after which he spent three years surfing while in Hawaii. Aaron Eckhart, whose filmography is now enthralling many moviegoers, then could not have imagined that he would ever achieve fame. Then he went as a missionary from the church to Switzerland, and soon to France. But once such a free life was supposed to end, and soon Aaron was enrolled in a university called Young Brigham, where he studied acting for several years. In 1994, he was awarded a diploma.
Filming
Before returning to Los Angeles, the guy "lit up" on television - played several small roles. After that, he was honored to take part in the filming of Beating the Babies.
But then the year 1997 came, and actor Aaron Eckhart was assigned to the lead role in a rather modest Neil LaButa film titled “Among Men”. It should be noted that he met this director while still a student. The actor played a wonderful role as a negative hero who hates women, and the film grossed about 3 million dollars at the box office.
On this cooperation Eckhart and LaButa did not stop. In 1998, Aaron played the role of a man who was not satisfied with his sex life in the drama "Your Friends and Neighbors." The film was a success.
Subsequently, Eckhart appeared before the audience in the image of a kindhearted brother in the movie "Molly", which failed miserably. There was also a small role in the much more successful sports film Every Sunday. It was filmed in 1999. The actor was lucky to collaborate with Al Pacino, who was awarded the main role. Aaron Eckhart, whose filmography consists of a huge number of various paintings, slowly but surely became more and more famous.
Further cooperation with LaBut
In 2000, the commercial tape “Erin Brockovich” was shot, which, as one would expect, was a huge success. Eckhart played the role of the wife of the protagonist, in the image of which appeared Julia Roberts. Then Aaron continued his work with LaBoot - the films “Obsession” and “Betty's Sister” were shot. In the interval between the filming of these tapes, the actor was taken on a small role in a detective story called "Promise." Sean Penn himself invited him to act. And the main role in this film was played by Jack Nicholson.
World fame, best films
In 2003, in the summer, the fantastic picture “The Earth's core” was released, thanks to which Aaron Eckhart, whose photo you see in front of you, gained worldwide fame. The actor, of course, did not stop there and in the same year starred in the thriller “Hour of Reckoning,” directed by John Wu.
On the set, Aaron collaborated with Ben Affleck. Since then, many more films featuring the actor have been released, and not all of them can be called successful. However, Eckhart is gradually becoming more and more popular both in the homeland and in other countries.
The best films in which Aaron starred are considered: “They smoke here”, “Taste of life”, “Black Orchid” and, of course, the most successful movie in the last few years - “The Dark Knight”.
