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).

for The Lizard in Spider-Man: Reptilian
Suggested by matthewfenner
Three months after the bloody showdown with Electro, Peter Parker is still learning what it means to survive as both a teenager and a hero. Near the end of his freshman year at Midtown High, Peter tries to find balance again — focusing on school, friends, and his new science teacher, Dr. Curt Connors, a brilliant biologist and former Oscorp researcher who becomes a mentor and father figure. But when Connors experiments with reptilian DNA to regenerate his lost arm, the formula mutates his body and mind, giving birth to The Lizard — a monstrous creature that sees humanity as a disease to be purged. As attacks spread through New York’s sewers and alleys, Spider-Man becomes the only one capable of stopping his teacher before the city drowns in primal terror. Spider-Man: Reptilian Instinct is an R-rated descent into mutation, morality, and the cost of science without restraint. Haunted by guilt and exhaustion, Peter must face the horrifying reality that the monster he’s fighting is a man he admired — and one who mirrors his own obsession with saving others at any cost. As Connors’ transformation spirals out of control, the line between man and beast blurs, forcing Peter to confront what kind of hero he’s becoming. In a savage final confrontation beneath New York’s streets, Spider-Man must make an impossible choice — save the man, or stop the monster. Either way, innocence dies.
