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).
"Every ending hides a forgotten beginning—because magic always comes with a price... and sometimes a second chance." When sixteen-year-old Jack moves into his late grandmother's house, he discovers a mysterious leather-bound book and an antique key hidden in the attic. Inside the book is a handwritten note bearing a cryptic message and coordinates pointing to a town called Fablemist—a place that doesn't appear on any modern maps. Driven by curiosity and a strange sense of connection to the artifacts, Jack convinces his reluctant parents to take a weekend trip to the coordinates, where they discover a picturesque town seemingly frozen in time yet existing in the modern world. As Jack explores Fablemist, he begins noticing odd occurrences—townsfolk who speak in riddles, buildings that seem to shift locations overnight, and a strange shimmer in the air at the town's edge. When he uses the key to unlock an abandoned clock tower, Jack accidentally reactivates dormant magic throughout the town, awakening both wonder and danger. With the help of local teens who have their own connections to Everwood's magical history, and occasional guidance from visitors with ties to another magical town called Storybrooke, Jack must decipher the contents of the book to understand his ancestral connection to this place and his role in an ancient prophecy that could either restore balance to all magical realms or unleash chaos upon them all.
