The Critic Abides

After a huge success with The Dark Knight this summer, actor Aaron Eckhart can basically write his own ticket.

He's decided to follow up his role as Harvey Dent by playing a bigot and a pedophile in Alan Ball's "Towelhead."

The film focuses on a young Arab girl, dealing with racism and her own sexuality. Eckhart plays the married man who has an affair with the teen.

Eckhart spoke with us on Good Day Lubbock about his role choices. Check out the Entertainment tab for that interview to be posted presently.

In the meantime, there's more information on "Towelhead" here:
