I believe in Aaron Eckhart.
[QUOTE=Equipoise]
He’s adept at playing utter scumbags (In the Company of Men, Thank You For Smoking) and absolute nice guys (Erin Brockovich, Possession). He may not have quite the range of, oh, say, Sean Penn, but then, I haven’t seen everything he’s done.

I would add schlubby suburbanite (Your Friends and Neighbors), and dashing leading man (Possession, again).
