Aaron Edward Eckhart (born March 12, 1968) is an American actor and producer. Born in Cupertino, California, Eckhart moved to the United Kingdom at early age, when his father relocated the family. Several years later, he began his acting career by performing in school plays, before moving to Australia for his high school senior year. He left high school without graduating, but earned a diploma through a professional education course, and graduated from Brigham Young University (BYU) in 1994 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree in film. For much of the mid-1990s, he lived in New York City as a struggling, unemployed actor. As an undergraduate at BYU, Eckhart met director and writer Neil LaBute, who cast him in several of his own original plays. Five years later Eckhart made a debut as an unctuous, sociopathic ladies' man in LaBute's black comedy film In the Company of Men (1997). Under LaBute's guidance he worked in the director's films Your Friends & Neighbors (1998), Nurse Betty (2000), and Possession (2002). Eckhart gained wide recognition as George in Steven Soderbergh's critically acclaimed film Erin Brockovich (2000), and, in 2006, he received a Golden Globe nomination for his portrayal of Nick Naylor in Thank You for Smoking. He gained further mainstream breakout in 2008 when he starred in the blockbuster Batman film The Dark Knight as District Attorney Harvey Dent / Two-Face. Eckhart's other key roles include The Pledge (2001), The Core (2003), Paycheck (2003), Rabbit Hole (2010), Battle: Los Angeles (2011), Olympus Has Fallen (2013) and its sequel London Has Fallen (2016), I, Frankenstein (2014), Sully (2016), Midway (2019) and Line Of Duty (2019).

In this new reboot James Bond adventure to be co-produced by Danjaq and Eon Productions, the story is taken from a few of the Raymond Benson-era short stories as well as the novel The Facts Of Death. Britain's best secret agent - 007 - returns to help a Russian figure skating champion defect to NATO and throw off her Russian Mafia backers. Tracing a clue of theirs, James Bond heads out west to California to infiltrate the former Playboy Mansion where stolen Ministry of Defense data housed on compact discs could be sold to the Russian Mafia. It turns out they have clients in the Union and Decada who are set to inherit the thrones of SPECTRE and SMERSH in aiming for world domination. Bond teams up with Greek NATO agent Niki Mirakos to uncover what resources the Russian Mafia have been supplying the Union and Decada with. This culminates in a manhunt for Hera Volopoulos who hopes to start nuclear war over Greece and Turkey.
