AARON: No, I think…you know, this is what I've always said about “In the Company of Men,” you can take the most heinous thing and dress it up and spin it.
AARON: Well, you have to keep it honest for yourself, you have to believe in why people need cigarettes, and you do that by saying “Look, right now as we speaking, there are millions of people taking a drag.

Eckhart eventually moved to Manhattan and found himself swimming in a virtual sea of unemployed actors, though he did land a few notable commercial parts before returning to L.A., where he worked in a series of small supporting roles.

Eckhart next appeared in Suspect Zero (2004), which was experimental filmmaker E. Elias Merhige's eagerly anticipated follow-up to 2000's acclaimed Shadow of the Vampire.

Long a trendsetter favorite, Aaron has perfected playing the emotional villain, but with roles in the upcoming romantic mystery Possession (opposite Gwyneth Paltrow) and action-film The Core (with Hilary Swank), we think he might finally break through in a more mainstream way.
Aaron and Gwyneth are literary scholars researching a pair of Victorian poets.
Aaron takes a completely different turn in upcoming sci-fi thriller, The Core, when he plays a terranaut leading a mission to the Earth's core in order to divert the planet's explosion as a result of a chemical waste reaction (been there, huh?).

The truth is, Eckhart, a tall, blond, handsome fellow who grew up in Cupertino, has been pointing himself toward stardom for a long time, and now it seems the rest of Hollywood has come around to his way of thinking.
Eckhart's portrayal of a chauvinistic jerk in an office full of them was so effective that he often is called upon to play variations on that theme -- witness his supporting role in last December's "Paycheck," the John Woo action film starring Ben Affleck.
Eckhart played a one-dimensional man ("laughably so," he says) whose hair was slicked back with about a pound of hair gel.

Eckhart's third movie, the gender contest Conversations With Other Women, is being vigorously shopped to distributors here, on the strength of its warm reception at the recent Telluride Film Festival.
Friday evening was Aaron Eckhart Night at the Ryerson Theatre, where two sold-out crowds saw him in two vastly different movies, Jason Reitman's Thank You for Smoking and Joshua Michael Stern's Neverwas.
In Conversations with Other Women, Eckhart shares the screen (quite literally so, because it is split in two) with Helena Bonham Carter, as the two trade caustic quips in a battle-of-the-sexes scenario.
