Aaron Eckhart is an American actor who works in movies and on the stage. His fame and wealth come from TV shows and movies where he has been performing for many years now. Aaron’s net worth has been estimated to be $25 million.
Aaron was born in California, but he moved to England when he was only 13 years old. He first started to act in plays while he was still in school. After a few years, the family moved again, this time to Australia. However, Aaron returned to the US a few years later and attended the Brigham Young University, where he got his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in film. The initial years of his life were a struggle, as Aaron remained an unemployed actor. But then he got his break. He met Neil LaBute, the director, and writer and was cast in some plays. A few years later, LaBute decided to make a movie. Aaron was given a role in Company of Men. Neil LaBute was his guide as Aaron continued to perform in some others, such as Friends & Neighbors, Nurse Betty, and Possession. Eckhart was beginning to get noticed.
But the real break came with “Erin Brockovich” in 2000 where he depicted the character of George. This critically acclaimed movie was directed by Steven Soderbergh. In “Thank You for Smoking” he depicted the character of Nick Naylor. For this, he got a Best Actor Golden Globe nomination. Eckhart’s fame got a further boost with Batman: The Dark Knight.
