Nick is a tobacco lobbyist who loves his job and doesn't apologize for it, which [as a role] is exciting and fun because it's politically incorrect and titillating — you get great jokes out of it.
"Aaron Edward Eckhart" is an United States/American film and stage actor.
Born in California, he moved to England at the age of 13, when his father relocated the family. Several years later, he began his acting career by performing in school plays, before moving to Sydney, for his high school senior year. He left high school without graduating, but earned a diploma through an adult education course, and graduated from Brigham Young University in 1994 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in film. For much of the mid-1990s, he lived in New York City as a struggling, unemployed actor. As an undergraduate at Brigham Young, Eckhart met director and writer Neil LaBute, who cast him in several of his own original plays. Five years later Eckhart made a debut as an unctuous, Psychopathy/sociopathic ladies' man in LaBute's black comedy film, In the Company of Men (1997). Under LaBute's guidance he worked in the director's films, Your Friends & Neighbors (1998), Nurse Betty (2000), and Possession (2002 film)/Possession (2002).

There were times on the movie where I did something one way and said, `No, Jason, I think it's better this way,' and he would say, `Aaron, I know comedy. Do it this way.'
I think people could come out of this movie thinking, although all of these are very serious subjects, (political) spin is very serious because the truth is more important than the spin. But sometimes spin becomes the truth, or that's the perception.
He came prepared to play. He fulfilled the author's intention. It's his movie. He's the man in it.
Audiences like both savory and unsavory characters, and [even] unsavory elements can be attractive. It all depends on how passionate you are about playing them.
I think Jason's going to have a huge career.
For Nick, the game, basically, is convincing people. It's getting people to look at things your way. That's the big game in life, and that's what he's teaching his son. That's what he and his friends talk about when they get together. He's not defending cigarettes so much as he's defending his right to defend cigarettes.
