Ben Affleck is an Academy Award Winner, an American hero, and now a household name. Tall and handsome Ben Affleck became a star and entered the records of Hollywood legend when he and best friend Matt Damon wrote and starred in Good Will Hunting, winning a Best Original Screenplay Oscar for their work…

Born in Berkeley, California on August 15, 1972 to a schoolteacher mother and drug rehabilitation counselor father, Affleck was the oldest of two brothers. His younger brother, Casey, also became an actor. When he was very young, Affleck's family moved to the Boston area, and it was there that he broke into acting at the age of eight and that same year he made the acquaintance of Matt Damon. The two became best friends and, of course, eventual partners.

The subsequent success of Good Will Hunting and the Best Original Screenplay Oscar awarded to Affleck and Damon effectively transformed both young men from struggling actors into Hollywood golden boys. Having won his own Oscar, Affleck settled comfortably into a reputation as one of Hollywood’s most promising young actors.
