How does Ben Affleck get so much work?

[PlatinumGold]

has he done anything of any consequence? any good movies at all?

how does he keep getting work?

 

[Evadman]

Satanic Rites?

ummm...

He won an Oscar for Good Will Hunting.

Although, that was for writing.

 

[KLin]

I thought Good Will Hunting was ok.

 

[warcrow]

Good Will Hunting is my favorite movie he was in....and he was only a supporting actor (although, he did get writing credits on it. I think Matt Damon was just being nice though).

New teeth!

The Stonecutters do for him what they do for Steve Gutenberg.

he is extremely fvckable and a passable actor

 

[PlatinumGold]

he plays the same part in every movie. he does nothing different in good will hunting that he did in gigli.

he is "everyman", that is his charm. the US version of Hugh Grant. Attractive, bland, fvckable.

Now you're just being silly.

(And this is coming from someone who doesn't like Ben Affleck as an actor.)

at least hugh grant is normally proportioned. affleck has the big ole head.

Good Will Hunting
Shakespeare in Love
Boiler Room

That's about it. A couple were mediocre and most were amazingly awful. He's been riding that writing Oscar his entire career. If he wasn't friends with Damon he'd be working in Summerstock.

so you like who then?

 

[Kadarin]

I agree. Matt Damon, for one example, can act circles around him.

Hehehe... He was perfect for that part.

 

[Mo0o]

i thought he was goood in dogma

 

[Baked]

He calls powerful executives daddy.

 

[TheLonelyPhoenix]

He was pretty good in Boiler Room, although he's too much of a pretty-boy to be as intimidating as he should have been.

 

[AcidicFury]

he was in a health class video on steroids. i saw that. it was crazy. he was ripping apart trees and sh!t.
