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).

Disgraced tabloid reporter Eddy Brock's life is a wreck—fired, broke, and haunted by childhood trauma at the hands of serial killer Cletus Kasady. During Kasady's televised execution, an alien symbiote crash-lands and bonds with Eddy, transforming him into Venom, a shapeshifting, fanged antihero. Meanwhile, a second, more vicious symbiote merges with Kasady, creating Carnage, who escapes death row and plunges the city into blackout-fueled chaos. With psychiatrist Dr. Rachel Kafka caught between them, Eddy must master the monster within and face his childhood tormentor in a brutal symbiote showdown at the burned-out asylum where their nightmare began—forcing him to choose between the power of Venom and his own humanity.
