Mostly character actor/sometime leading man Aaron Eckhart plays another bad boy in the new film Thank You for Smoking--and he does it so well. This role isn't as shocking as his other portrayal of another "yuppie Mephistopheles" in Neil LaBute's In the Company of Men, so it's hard not to root for him as the dimple-chinned anti-hero who takes on William H. Macy's mealy-mouthed senator in Thank You.
Update: Next up for Eckhart is a starring role in Neverwas and Brian De Palma's James Elroy adaptation, The Black Dahlia.
