Apparel Search has selected Matt Damon as a fashion celebrity.
Damon's career begins with a writing credit, which is rare among leading men: Good Will Hunting, co-written with Ben Affleck, won the Academy Award and Golden Globe for its screenplay and made both men's careers at once — Affleck's profile, in the B letter of the A–G range, tells the same founding story from the other chair. The acting record built on it balances the two currencies of Hollywood: commercial weight (Saving Private Ryan, the Ocean's trilogy, the first three Bourne films, a place among the top-40 highest-grossing actors of all time) and critical standing (Syriana, The Good Shepherd, The Departed, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Invictus).
