Talk:Aaron Eckhart

message: I went through the article and made some (mostly minor) fixes to the prose.  Here are some comments/suggestions I had along the way:
*Per WP:LEAD, the lead section needs to summarize the article in full.  Something needs to be said about Eckhart's early/family/personal life.  Where he's from, where he went to school, relationships, etc.  A couple succinct sentences should do it.
**Added some stuff, hope that helps. 
*Eckhart wound up being cast in Sean Penn's The Pledge (2001): this reads as somewhat random in the lead, because no notability is asserted for this film -- or most of any films mentioned in the first paragraph, for that matter.  I would say lesser recognized/notable films could stand to be cut in order to make room for some personal details, as suggested above.  The lead shouldn't be an exhaustive account of his career.  The body of the article does that just fine. :)
**I've removed somewhat not notable films. 
*He had supporting roles in television appearances. Same thing: were any of them notable?  Any examples?  What time period is this?
**Not notable roles, but, when reading of his bio., that info. came up with him having "guests roles" on television. I ended it up removing it, not important. 
*Is it known why his family moved around so much when he was young?  Just curious.
**Added some info. on it. 
*Can it be said how long Oleanna ran from?  It may help to include it, as the chronology becomes a little fuzzy around 2003-2004.
**It ran in early 2004.
I think a couple more copy-edits will help, as there were times that I was unsure of the wording of several sentences.  If I unintentionally changed the meaning of something, please do correct me!  I attempted to vary wording/sentence structure where I could, but repetition may still be a problem.  Other than possible lingering prose issues, the article is fairly good.  The referencing especially seems topnotch.  If you have any particular questions, or want further advice on the prose, just let me know. María (habla conmigo) 14:33, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for the copy-edits, and no you didn't mess up anything, everything seems to be fine. Thank you for the sources comment, really tried to look for reliable sources to include in the article. Hope I got your comments you left. If not, I'll continue with adding/fixing. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 17:29, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No problem, I'm glad it helped.  I did a bit more cleaning-up of the lead with your new additions, but it's already improved a lot.  The lead is much smoother in comparison.  Best of luck, and let me know if/when this reaches FAC. María (habla conmigo) 17:45, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for helping out with the stuff I added and thank you for your most appreciated comments. Absolutely, will let you know what the outcome of the article becomes. :) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 18:37, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

message: The article states that Eckhart portrays Harvey Dent and his villainous alter-ego Two-Face. Isn't that a spoiler considering the fact that many people who may be planning to watch The Dark Knight haven't read the comics or watched any other films or cartoons? I do believe his transformation into Two-Face was supposed to be a surprize to those who were not familiar with the characters. Abc85 (talk) 09:17, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Nope, according to this, spoilers are allowed. In interviews, Eckhart does say he plays both Harvey Dent and Two-Face. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 23:23, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

message: So, is he of German ancestry? Eckhart... is there a more German sounding surname? Guess not.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.153.197.123 (talk) 19:19, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

message: The career section lists most movies, often without extra information. That's pretty pointless as it also is in the Filmography. I'll remove every mention in the career section that doesn't actually add any information compared to the filmography. --OpenFuture (talk) 18:51, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: There is no problem with listing the films, without extra information, in the career section. Many actor articles have them, so I don't see why this one is an exception. If you have a problem with this, bring it up at WP:ACTOR instead of just removing information from the article. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 19:19, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't see anything at WP:ACTOR that says that normal Wikipedia styles should be broken in this case. Reasonably the career section should be the highligts, not every single movie. That's what filmography is for. --OpenFuture (talk) 20:56, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

message: Eckhart did not leave "high school without graduating".  Americans graduate from High School-  or rather College. Australians leave high school, and graduate from a university. The language should be changed to reflect the Australian terminology, not American.Royalcourtier (talk) 01:41, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

message: While Eckhart did have a role in Midway it was a fairly small one. Further, Midway was a box-office bomb, not exactly a blockbuster. 73.117.187.249 (talk) 15:23, 27 April 2023 (UTC)

message: Is it OK to write biography in lead? Where he studied, etc.
I haven't seen something like this before, but it is a good article. Kirill C1 (talk) 11:38, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
