Aaron Eckhart is an American film and stage actor who shot to international fame with his performance in the highly successful film ‘Erin Brockovich’ in 2000. He gained further prominence following his portrayal of Nick Naylor in ‘Thank You for Smoking.’ A very popular star today with numerous critically acclaimed performances under his belt, it is hard to imagine that he was once a struggling, unemployed actor who could hardly make ends meet. Interested in acting from his school days, he left school to take up a job with the Warringah Mall movie theater. He eventually resumed his education to earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in film. Despite being good-looking and talented, he was unable to build a successful acting career for years. His fortunes changed for the better when he was offered the role of George in the film ‘Erin Brockovich’ which gave his failing career a much needed boost. Having gained notice for his striking looks and impressive talents, he was flooded with film offers and before long established himself as a respected character actor in Hollywood. One of his recent performances was in the 2016 film ‘Sully’ in which he portrayed Jeff Skiles.
