Check out Aaron Eckhart‘s career compared to current and classic actors. Most 100 Million Dollar Movies of All-Time.
On top of his big screen career Aaron has appeared in 5 TV productions to date from 1992 until 2018. One of them was 2 episodes both of which I saw of the sitcom Frasier in 2004 in which he displayed his flare for comedy and was great fun to watch. I have seen him also in 3 movies: Paycheck/Any Given Sunday/ and The Pledge.
IMDB credits Aaron with 7 acting awards and 18 nominations and his current net worth is said to be $16 million. In the pipeline for him are (1) at post-production stage 1 movie a crime thriller with Tommy Lee Jones (2) at pre-production stage 2 movies and a TV series.
Hey Bob…..thanks for sharing your thoughts on Aaron Eckhart. I did not notice that he had appeared on Frasier. I have seen all three of the ones you have seen. I really liked Paycheck…..thought Any Given Sunday was good….but was disappointed in The Pledge…though Jack was awesome in the movie. Thanks for sharing his net worth, current projects, and net worth. Good stuff as always.
I too was disappointed with The Pledge espcially the ending. However what do I know?: the movie is included on Roger Ebert’s “Great Movies” list.
ADDITIONAL TRIVIA Jack Nicholson’s secretary in the movie Jean was played by Sean Penn’s mother Eileen Ryan. I wonder if Al Leach’s mother ever appeared in one of Archie’s movies – say as his great grandmother.
Aaron Eckhart, underrated actor. Particularly good in Thank You For Smoking (2005), recommended if anyone missed it.
I’ve seen 14 of the 33 films on the chart, favorites are – The Dark Knight, The Core, Olympus Has Fallen, London Has Fallen, Than You For Smoking, Paycheck, Battle Los Angeles and I Frankenstein.
I think I’ve seen Nurse Betty but can’t remember for sure. I haven’t seen The Pledge or In the Company of Men.
Good stuff Bruce. Vote Up!
Hey Steve…..as always thanks for sharing your thoughts on our latest page. Tally count: Cogerson 29, Steve 14 and 3 for Bob. I agree that Thank You For Smoking is a good movie to watch. I have seen all of your favorites. My favorites would include The Dark Knight, Payback, and the first Fallen movie. Not among-st your favorites is another of my favorites…Sully. I thought that was a great performance from him. Good stuff as always.
Aaron Eckhart is no longer on the Oracle of Bacon Top 1000 Center of the Hollywood Universe list. These are the actors on the list he appeared with.

Hey Dan. Good stuff as usual. I guess he has not made enough movies to make the list. I would say his peak leading man movie days are behind….but I think he has a long career of supporting roles ahead of him. Looking at his first list….Morgan Freeman gets the bragging rights for most frequent Oracle co-star. His movies with Freeman are some of his most popular movies. 30 Oscar winners is a good total for only 33 movies so far. Thanks as always for putting this together.
Nice UMR Page
Thank you Mike.
Eckhart is in the new book….so I figured I had better get his UMR page up and running. I have seen 29 of the movies…for a good 88%…almost an Eckhart completist….and did not even know it. Favorites include The Dark Knight, Sully, and his performance in Bleed For This….movie is alright.
