Got to mention one of his better movies,if not the best
Good Will Hunting :toast:
Good Will Hunting :toast:
Damon is a big star now but from what I read he has not let it go to his head and remains friends with his pre Good Will Hunting Days neighborhood buddies. The Bourne Triology was exellent considering the genere. As mentioned above Damon has shown a broad acting range beside the James Bond like Jason Bourne.
He more than held his own with the talented Edward Norton and John Malkovich in the excellent gambling movie "Rounders".
From the Oceans franchise to the Talented Mr. Ripley Matt Damon has demonstrated he can pull off a wide range of rolls with apparent ease. He has a big future still ahead of him at 38 years old.
Look for an upcoming release of "The Informant" in 2009 starring Damon and directed by Stephen Soderbergh.
"The Informant" is the tale of Mark Whitacre (played by Matt Damon), an Ivy League Ph.D. who was a rising star at Decatur's Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) in the early 1990s. He wound up blowing the whistle on the company's price fixing tactics and became the highest-ranked executive to ever turn whistleblower in US history. Whitacre secretly gathered hundreds of hours of video and audio tapes over several years to present to the FBI which became one of the largest price fixing cases in history. In the story -- a dark comedy / thriller in director Steven Soderbergh's hands -- Whitacre's good deed dovetails with his own major infractions and struggle with bipolar disorder.
