Matt Damon – Good Will Hunting

Matt Damon shared the spotlight with Ben Affleck when they co-wrote and starred in the award-winning 1997 drama Good Will Hunting. He went on to garner more praise from appearances in Saving Private Ryan, Syriana, The Talented Mr. Ripley, and The Departed. He is currently filming Apostle Paul and Green Beret’s Guide to Surviving the Apocalypse.

Damon has gone far and beyond for roles, as displayed in Courage Under Fire. He adopted a 100-day fitness plan that involved running and performing other rigorous routines. The 40-pound weight loss helped with his delivery, even though he was only on set for two days to embody a soldier addicted to opiates.
