I do wish Aron Eckhart would start to get better roles he's a good actor.

I feel like his performance as two face doesn't get much credit tbh, yeah the one who stole the show was ledger as joker, but aaron played the role of harvey dent/two face so beautifully! I really liked him in the film.

The Dark Knight stands as the best superhero film of all time.

[HugoStiglitz]

If Heath wasn't the joker, I think Aaron Eckhart should've won for best supporting actor because the work he did in that movie easily ranks among the best villain portrayals in any comic book movie

[nickandolino]

It's sad to think of what a success Heath's career would have been after this movie if he were still alive.

[phoenixmayfall]

They really don't have enough behind the scenes for TDK

[sgtzomie]

he was the best joker and always will be

[DrFamine]

So much respect. For everyone in The Dark Knight.

The last what he was saying about Heath :"... that what's acting was all about.."
Amazing performance of all time.

When Joker said 'hiii' to Harvey Dent in hospital scene, so many people (mostly women in the audience) kinda screamed in a startled manner. Priceless.

[Tizzo]

His work as Harvey Dent is so severely underrated

[CYP]

Heath’s portrayal of the Joker was incredible, but Aaron is too humble to say that his rendition of Two Face was likewise sensational. He gave it so much depth and humanity that he made it truly a tragic figure. Mightily impressed by him.

When Aaron says how Heath was walking around and talking to himself in the corner and make all this noises ... I imagine this view and feels just WOW how Stunning moment this was simply AMAZING !

[ValkyrieDaisy]

When Aaron was talking about Heath talking to himself and making "Urggh..hmmm..errrghh.." noises..I really did imagine Heath going completely insane; muttering away at himself licking his scars, blinking slowly and adjusting his jacket, getting into character <3 It's so wonderful to hear this story! Aaron's so lovely and really interesting to listen to! He was the next best thing after Heath in this film .. the hurt, the pain and the whole struggle Harvey was going through the film is heartbreaking and tragic. Aaron and Heath certainly worked amazingly with each other! They did the characters proud! Hands down, they are the best Joker and Two-face ever portrayed on screen <3

Great story. Aaron Eckhart did amazing as Two Face. Heath Ledger was unbelievable.

[-cloudsaboveuscrying-]

I had goosebumps just hearing his story...damn, I almost cry when he said: "that's what acting it's all about"


Rest in peace dear Heath Ledger

Aaron Eckhart doesn't get enough credit or recognition for playing two face. He was genuinely frightening even before ya get talkin about the amazing cgi effects on his face

[MrEdium]

He is also One of the World's Great Actors. no one ever says how Great he was a Harvey Dent. He was Amazing.

[SeanWillets]

One of my favorite scenes of all time.

Anyone else gonna go watch the hospital scene now?
