He is the recipient of two Academy Awards, three Golden Globe Awards, two BAFTA Awards, and two Screen Actors Guild Awards. Affleck first gained recognition as a screenwriter for co-writing Good Will Hunting (1997) with Matt Damon, winning both the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay and the Golden Globe Award for Best Screenplay. As an actor, he garnered a Golden Globe nomination and the Best Actor Award at the Venice Film Festival for his performance in Hollywoodland (2006). The film Argo(2012), which he directed, produced, and starred in, earned considerable acclaim and numerous accolades including the Golden Globe Award for Best Director, BAFTA Award for Best Direction, and Directors Guild of America Award for Outstanding Directing – Feature Film, as well as the Academy Award for Best Picture, BAFTA Award for Best Film, and Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Drama.
Beginning his career as a child actor, Affleck starred in the PBS educational series The Voyage of the Mimi in 1984 and its sequel in 1988. Following a brief appearance in the coming-of-age film Dazed and Confused (1993), he was cast in his first lead role in the romantic comedy-drama Chasing Amy (1997). The film Good Will Hunting, co-starring and co-written by Affleck and Damon, was released in 1997 to widespread acclaim and won the Golden Globe and Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. At the age of 25, Affleck became the youngest writer to ever win an Oscar for screenwriting.[1]

In 2003, he suffered a career downturn marked by tabloid notoriety and a string of critical flops and Razzie Awards winners, such as the superhero film Daredevil and the romantic comedy Gigli. He returned to prominence in 2006 with his performance as the former Superman actor George Reeves in the mystery filmHollywoodland.[2] The following year Affleck directed his first feature film, Gone Baby Gone. The neo-noir drama, starring his brother Casey Affleck, received critical praise and various accolades for Best Directorial Debut. His reputation as a filmmaker continued to grow with his subsequent efforts, the crime dramaThe Town (2010) and the historical drama Argo. In 2014 he starred in the psychological thriller Gone Girl, before taking on the role of Batman in the DC Extended Universe in 2016.[3] Later that year he directed, wrote, and starred in the gangster film Live by Night.[3]
