Affleck's career has three distinct chapters. The first is the Kevin Smith years — Mallrats, Chasing Amy and Dogma — capped by the Good Will Hunting breakthrough he shared with Matt Damon as co-writer and co-star. The second is the international leading-man run: Armageddon, Pearl Harbor, Changing Lanes, The Sum of All Fears, Daredevil, Hollywoodland, State of Play and The Town. The third is the director's chapter, where The Town and Argo brought him the Golden Globe, BAFTA and Directors Guild awards for directing and the Academy Award for Best Picture for Argo, with Gone Girl, the Batman films, The Accountant, Triple Frontier and praise for The Way Back (2020) continuing the acting record alongside it.
Two partnerships structure the record. With Matt Damon, Affleck founded the production company LivePlanet, and in 2012 the pair founded a new company, Pearl Street Films — the Damon collaboration runs from the Good Will Hunting screenplay through both companies, which is why the two profiles sit side by side in this directory, Affleck in the B letter and Damon in the M letter. Affleck has also been actively involved in politics and charitable causes alongside the film work.
