Aaron Eckhart

What fascinates me about Aaron Eckhart is how he turns his leading-man looks against themselves. He has the jawline of a classic Hollywood hero, yet his best work lives in the cracks of that polished surface: decent men curdling, charming men hollowing out, played with unusual honesty. Harvey Dent in The Dark Knight remains the definitive example, a fall from grace carried almost entirely in his face. I also respect the path he took, a Brigham Young graduate from Cupertino who never chased tabloid fame, just steady and serious work. He is equally convincing as the moral center or its quiet undoing, and I find that duality endlessly watchable.
