In 2010, he directed the mockumentary I'm Still Here. He then had a string of successful films in the early 2010s, including Tower Heist (2011), ParaNorman (2012) and Interstellar (2014), and received particular praise for his performance as an outlaw in the indie film Ain't Them Bodies Saints (2013).

In 2016, Affleck starred in the drama film Manchester by the Sea. For his performance as Lee Chandler, a man grieving the loss of his children and his brother, he received universal acclaim and won the Critics' Choice Movie Award, Golden Globe Award, British Academy Film Award and Academy Award for Best Actor, and received a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination. In 2017, Affleck received critical acclaim for his leading role in the supernatural drama film A Ghost Story.

Early life and education

Caleb Casey McGuire Affleck-Boldt[1] was born on August 12, 1975, in Falmouth, Massachusetts, to Christopher Anne "Chris" Boldt and Timothy Byers Affleck.[2][3][4] The surname "Affleck" is of Scottish origin.[5] He also has Irish,[6][7] German,[8] English, and Swiss ancestry.[9][full citation needed] Affleck's maternal great-great-grandfather, Heinrich Boldt, known for the discovery of the Curmsun Disc, emigrated from Prussia in the late 1840s.[10][11] His mother was a Radcliffe College- and Harvard-educated elementary school teacher. His father worked sporadically as an auto mechanic,[12][13] a carpenter,[14] a bookie,[15][16] an electrician,[17] a bartender,[18] and a janitor at Harvard University.[19][20][21] In the mid-1960s, he had been a stage manager, director, writer and actor with the Theater Company of Boston.[22][23][24] During Affleck's childhood, his father was "a disaster of a drinker".[25] Affleck first started acting by "reenacting what was happening at home" during role play exercises at Alateen meetings.[26]

After his parents divorced when he was nine, Affleck and his older brother, Ben, lived with their mother and visited their father weekly.[25] He learned to speak Spanish during a year spent traveling around Mexico with his mother and brother when he was ten.[27] The two brothers spent "all of our time together, pretty much. Obviously at school we were in different grades, but we had the same friends."[27] When Affleck was fourteen, his father moved to Indio, California, to enter a rehabilitation facility, and later worked there as an addiction counselor.[17][28][29][30] He reconnected with his father during visits to California as a teenager: "I got to know him, really, because he was sober for the first time ... The man I knew before that was just completely different."[25][31]

Growing up in a politically active, liberal household in Central Square, Cambridge,[15][32] Affleck and his brother were surrounded by people who worked in the arts,[33] were regularly taken to the theater by their mother,[34] and were encouraged to make their own home movies.[35] The brothers sometimes appeared in local weather commercials and as movie extras because of their mother's friendship with a local casting director.[18][31][36] Affleck acted in numerous high school theater productions while a student at Cambridge Rindge and Latin School.[31][37] He has said he "wouldn't be an actor" if not for his high school theater teacher Gerry Speca: "He kind of turned me on to acting, why it can be fun, how it can be rewarding."[37]

At age eighteen, Affleck moved to Los Angeles for a year to pursue an acting career, and lived with his brother and their childhood friend Matt Damon.[38] Despite having "the best possible first experience" while filming To Die For,[39] he spent much of the year working as a busboy at a restaurant in Pasadena. He decided to move to Washington, D.C., to study politics at George Washington University.[18] He soon transferred to Columbia University in New York City, where he followed the Core Curriculum for a total of two years.[40][41][42] However, he did not graduate: "I would do a semester of school, go do a movie ... Opportunities kept presenting themselves that were hard for me to turn down ... By then, I didn't really have roots at the school or a group of friends."[39]

Career

1988–2006: Early work

Affleck acted professionally during his childhood due to his mother's friendship with a Cambridge-area casting director, Patty Collinge.[39] In addition to local weather commercials and movie extra work,[43] he appeared as Kevin Bacon's brother in the PBS television movie Lemon Sky (1988), directed by Collinge's husband Jan Egleson,[39] and as a young Robert F. Kennedy in the ABC miniseries The Kennedys of Massachusetts (1990).[44] These early acting experiences "meant nothing more than a day off from school" to Affleck, and he only began to consider a career as an actor when in high school.[43] When he later moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career in earnest, his first movie role was as a sociopathic teenager in Gus Van Sant's 1995 satirical comedy To Die For. During filming in Toronto, Affleck shared an apartment with co-star Joaquin Phoenix and they became close friends.[35] Peter Travers of Rolling Stone praised Affleck's performance, saying he "skillfully capture[s] the pang of adolescence among no-hopers."[45][46] However, Affleck then had a "disappointing" experience while making the 1996 drama Race the Sun and, "as soon as the film finished, I went to school."[41]

While studying at Columbia, Affleck had a supporting role in Van Sant's Good Will Hunting (1997), written by his brother and their childhood friend Matt Damon.[18][39] Despite arranging a first meeting between Van Sant and his brother to discuss the project, Affleck was reluctant to leave college temporarily to act in the film.[41] He was eventually persuaded to play one of four friends living in South Boston – a role written specifically for him[38] – and improvised many of his lines.[47][48] Jay Carr of The Boston Globe praised the "emotional subtleties and variety" of the performances, and singled out "Casey Affleck's junior member of the quartet, dying to be taken as seriously as the others."[49] Following the critical and commercial success of the movie, Affleck's career opportunities did not significantly improve. At the same time, his life became exposed to the public and parts of his life became "part of pop culture and public life."[18] Also in 1997, he had a small role in Kevin Smith's Chasing Amy, starring his brother. He returned to university for a semester before quitting to focus on his acting career.[41]

Affleck's career entered a "dark" period, with a series of supporting roles in critical and commercial failures.[38][35] He later remarked: "It dawned on me late that I should be selective about what I do."[39] In the independent comedy Desert Blue (1998), he starred opposite Kate Hudson as a small-town jock.[50] Peter Stack of the San Francisco Chronicle felt that, while "interesting", his character was "entirely underdeveloped".[51] In 1999, he made an uncredited cameo in the teen comedy American Pie[52] and appeared as a punk rocker romantically involved with both Gaby Hoffmann and Christina Ricci's characters in the New Year's Eve ensemble comedy 200 Cigarettes.[53][54] In the comedy Drowning Mona (2000), starring Danny DeVito, Affleck played a shy gardener suspected of murder.[55] Elvis Mitchell of The New York Times acknowledged, in an otherwise negative review, that his role was "well played".[56] Also in 2000, Affleck had a small role in the comedy Attention Shoppers and played Fortinbras in Ethan Hawke's Hamlet.[57] He appeared as the brother of Heather Graham's character in the romantic comedy Committed (2000), with Emanuel Levy of Variety praising a "terrific" performance.[58] Also in 2001, he had a small role in American Pie 2 and appeared in the teen slasher film Soul Survivors. Robert Koehler of Variety found him "bland"[59] while Carla Meyer of the San Francisco Chronicle said that he did not make "much of an impression, [but may] have been too depressed to really act."[60] One positive experience Affleck had during this period was working with Van Sant and cinematographer Harris Savides on Finding Forrester (2000) as Van Sant's assistant and technical consultant: "Can you imagine a better film school than that? Gus is not only somebody who I love a lot but is also who has taught me, maybe more than anybody else in film."[35][61]

Affleck found a degree of commercial success when he was cast in Steven Soderbergh's heist comedy Ocean's Eleven (2001), starring George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Damon. In roles Soderbergh originally intended for Luke Wilson and Owen Wilson,[62] Affleck and Scott Caan played Mormon brothers and wisecracking mechanics who help to rob three Las Vegas casinos simultaneously.[63] While it was a "great, fun social experience", Affleck spent much of his time on set "being, like, 100 feet away from the camera in the background."[38] He would later reprise his role in Ocean's Twelve (2004) and Ocean's Thirteen (2007).

In 2002, Affleck and Damon starred in Van Sant's experimental drama Gerry, playing two men who get lost while hiking in the desert.[64][65] Affleck, Damon, and Van Sant conceived of the idea and wrote the screenplay together while living in neighboring New York apartments.[47] The film, which had minimal dialogue, received mixed reviews.[66][67] Affleck, who rarely watches his own movies,[63] said of Gerry in 2016: "That was an incredible experience. I saw one scene recently out of context at the Telluride Film Festival and I can't believe anyone ever sat through the whole thing. It probably works better as a whole but one scene lifted out – I thought, 'This is unbearable!'"[39] Also in 2002, Affleck starred with Damon and then-girlfriend Summer Phoenix in a West End stage production of Kenneth Lonergan's This Is Our Youth.[18][68][69] Lonergan and Affleck became friends during rehearsals,[70] and Affleck later acted in workshop productions of Lonergan's plays in New York.[71][72]

Affleck's first leading role was in 2006's little-seen independent comedy-drama Lonesome Jim, directed by Steve Buscemi. He played a depressed writer who returns from New York to live with his parents in Indiana, and begins a relationship with Liv Tyler's character.[73] Buscemi has said he knew Affleck would be able to carry the movie after watching his performance in Gerry.[74][75] Stephen Hunter of The Washington Post remarked: "Affleck's interesting .. He probably can't be a star in big movies because his drawback is a voice that sounds like a snivel drawn through a wet nasal passage into a whine ... And yet in certain kinds of films – this kind – he's 100 percent authentic."[76] Ty Burr of The Boston Globe said Affleck "gets so far under the skin of this semi-charming jerk that the performance becomes both brave and aggravating."[77] However, Stephen Holden of The New York Times felt it "would be a stronger movie if Mr. Affleck had the wherewithal to bare more of the passive-aggressive rage inside ... a more resourceful actor would have used this blank slate to scrawl a thousand telling details."[78] Also in 2006, he had a supporting role in the romantic comedy The Last Kiss as a friend of Zach Braff's character.[79]

2007–2012: Breakthrough

Affleck had a breakthrough year in 2007, with the release of two films featuring critically acclaimed performances.[80] The first of these performances was in the Western drama The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, in which he played Robert Ford to Brad Pitt's Jesse James.[81] Affleck auditioned repeatedly for the role.[82] While the director Andrew Dominik had seen Affleck in Gerry,[83][84] he cast him partly because of his "beautiful-sounding voice. The voice is the thing that really gets you."[85][86] Manohla Dargis of The New York Times described Affleck's performance as a "revelation" which "manages to make the character seem dumb and the actor wily and smart."[87] Similarly, Claudia Puig of USA Today declared him a "real revelation [who] perfectly inhabits the role"[88] while Todd McCarthy of Variety said Affleck made "an indelible impression as the insecure, physically unprepossessing weakling."[89] Dana Stevens of Slate said "the movie belongs to Affleck [who] goes for broke in a wonderfully brave and weird performance as the craven naif Bob. Somehow he makes us want to flee this creep at top speed, even as we pray no harm will come to him." For his performance, Affleck was nominated for the Golden Globe Award, Screen Actors Guild Award and Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.

 
Affleck on the set of Gone Baby Gone in 2006

While he was filming The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford in Calgary, Affleck was visited by his brother, who offered him the leading role in his directorial project, the Boston crime thriller Gone Baby Gone (2007).[39] While his brother was a first-time director and in the midst of a career downturn, Affleck had confidence in the project: "I felt like I knew him better than anyone else did."[39][90] His performance, as an inexperienced private investigator tasked with finding a missing child, earned Affleck further plaudits for his acting.[91] Manohla Dargis of The New York Times said: "I'm not sure exactly when Casey Affleck became such a good actor ... Most actors want you to love them, but [he] doesn't seem to know that, or maybe he doesn't care."[92] Jim Ridley of The Village Voice described him as "a major talent coming into his own"[93] while Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle remarked that "the revelation is Casey Affleck, who heretofore has been a rather wormy, uncharismatic screen presence."[94] Ty Burr of The Boston Globe commented: "I'd never stopped to consider Casey Affleck as a movie star before, but under his big brother's tutelage, he blooms as a leading man of richly watchable savvy and intelligence."[95]

While The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford and Gone Baby Gone were, respectively, a financial failure and a modest box office success,[85][96] Affleck's acting career was widely believed to be at a turning point.[35] However, he lost career momentum while directing I'm Still Here (2010), a divisive mockumentary about the musical career of his friend and then brother-in-law Joaquin Phoenix.[35] While Affleck later clarified that it was "a planned, staged and scripted work of fiction",[97] there was much media speculation during filming about whether Phoenix's public behaviour was performance art or a genuine breakdown.[98] Claudia Puig of USA Today remarked that, "whether truth or folly, it's not particularly well made. Even in the midst of Phoenix's most oddball and obsessive torment, it's boring ... What, exactly, is the point of a joke that nobody really gets?"[99] Ty Burr of The Boston Globe described it as "an interesting but half-baked exercise in persona deconstruction, celebrity politics, and meta-meta-entertainment ... Parts of it are close to genius; most of it is actively torturous to watch."[100] Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times said the film "turns out to be much more interesting to speculate about than to actually watch."[101] Reflecting on the experience in 2016, Affleck said: "We never thought people would actually think it was real ... In hindsight, we should have had a press junket and done talk shows and said how it was a mockumentary."[72]

Affleck used his own money to fund I'm Still Here and, after running out of cash,[97] filming was paused for a month to allow him to play a Texan serial killer in Michael Winterbottom's crime drama The Killer Inside Me (2010).[102] Affleck later expressed regret over the movie's graphic violence.[72] Philip French of The Guardian found him "disturbingly brilliant"[103] while Peter Travers of Rolling Stone praised "a mesmeric, implosively powerful performance."[104] Mark Olsen of the Los Angeles Times said Affleck "showcases his uncanny ability to project a person holding two thoughts in his head at once, as he often gives away nothing in his face to convey the firestorm obviously raging in his soul."[105] Affleck then had a supporting role in the heist comedy Tower Heist (2011)[106] and voiced a character in the 2012 animation ParaNorman.[107]

2013–present: Wider recognition

After spending "a big chunk of time" directing I'm Still Here and dealing with the subsequent backlash,[108] Affleck returned to regular acting work in 2013. "It was ugly for a minute ... I sort of remembered why I liked acting and I missed it."[61] In David Lowery's Ain't Them Bodies Saints (2013), Affleck and Rooney Mara starred as outlaw lovers in 1970s-era Texas.[109] Affleck was drawn to the opportunity to play a character who "was a much better person than anyone thought", after a string of roles as "assassins or murderers or just creeps".[109] Shannon M. Houston of Paste described him as the movie's "standout actor": "Down to his very jawline, Affleck captures the physicality and feeling of a sincerely romantic outlaw."[110] Betsy Sharkey of the Los Angeles Times remarked: "Affleck plays conflicted souls so very well ... Here you wish for a criminal's redemption."[111] Matt Pais of the Chicago Tribune said: "He has great instincts when it comes to morally compromised anti-heroes, and without trolling for our sympathy, Affleck's Bob is more than just a collection of behaviors; it's a smartly considered performance."[112] Sebastian Doggart of The Guardian said he "shows himself again to be a master of the criminal outsider"[113] while Chuck Wilson of The Village Voice found him "flat-out heartbreaking".[114]

The opportunity to act opposite Christian Bale in the drama Out of the Furnace "reinvigorated" Affleck and reminded him why he enjoyed acting.[115] Claudia Puig of USA Today found his performance as an Iraq War veteran dealing with posttraumatic stress disorder "completely captivating ... The chemistry between Bale and Affleck is powerful, intensifying the credibility of their brotherly bond."[116] Matt Pais of the Chicago Tribune said Affleck "finds something fierce and noble in uneven material and in his character's rage. He's not like any other actor in American movies."[112] Ann Hornaday of The Washington Post described the performance as "a searing portrayal of a young man who pushes himself to the punishing physical limit in search of both money and catharsis."[117] Manohla Dargis of The New York Times remarked that Affleck "can come across as intensely vulnerable on screen, which nicely works for a broken man like Rodney."[118] In 2014, Affleck and Jessica Chastain had supporting roles in Christopher Nolan's science fiction film Interstellar as the grown-up children of Matthew McConaughey's character,[119] with Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter describing his character as "thinly developed".[120] Also in 2014, Affleck and producer John Powers Middleton launched the production company, The Affleck/Middleton Project.[121]

Affleck starred in three films in 2016, the first two of which underperformed financially.[122][123] In John Hillcoat's crime thriller Triple 9, Affleck played an uncorruptible detective. Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle said he "arrests our attention. I wonder if any other screen actor has ever seemed so focused and so distracted at the same time. He thinks more than he says, and so we listen, trying to get the part he's leaving out."[124] Justin Chang of Variety described him as "one of the most persuasive leading men of his generation"[125] while Brogan Morris of Paste declared him "maybe Hollywood's best offbeat leading man ... Few actors can suggest so much with such quiet precision, and even here Affleck is compulsively watchable despite his undercooked character."[126] In Disney's disaster drama The Finest Hours, Affleck played a taciturn engineer on board a sinking ship. David Sims of The Atlantic said he "gives the kind of measured, thought-out performance he's so eminently capable of, even if the film isn't complex enough to rise to his level ... He animates an introverted character with subtle mental busywork whenever he's on the screen."[127] Sheri Linden of The Hollywood Reporter noted that he "manages to turn his man of few words into the movie's most compelling figure."[128]

 
Affleck in October 2016

In his final role of 2016, Affleck starred as Lee Chandler, a grief-stricken alcoholic loner, in Kenneth Lonergan's drama Manchester by the Sea. One of the film's producers, Matt Damon, initially intended to star in the film. When scheduling conflicts made this unfeasible, Damon agreed to step aside on the condition that he be replaced with Affleck.[129] Lonergan readily agreed,[130] remarking that Affleck was "the natural person to go to."[131] Affleck had close relationships with both men and had previously offered notes on early drafts of the script.[63] The movie was a box office success,[132] and Affleck's performance received widespread critical praise. A.O. Scott of The New York Times described it as "one of the most fiercely disciplined screen performances in recent memory. [He] conveys both Lee's inner avalanche of feeling and the numb decorum that holds it back."[133]

Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times praised his "quietly ferocious performance, his willingness to submerge himself into this character to an almost frightening extent."[134] Ann Hornaday of The Washington Post said the film was "anchored by a quietly volcanic central performance by Casey Affleck, in a breathtaking breakout role he's long deserved."[135] David Fear of Rolling Stone stated: "He's given impressive turns before [but] the way Affleck gradually shows you the man's bone-deep grief and emotional damage makes you believe that one of this generation's finest actors has simply been waiting to be coaxed out."[136] Affleck won the National Board of Review, Critics' Choice, Golden Globe, BAFTA, and Academy Award for his performance.

After dropping out of Lowery's Pete's Dragon in order to star in Manchester by the Sea,[63] Affleck reteamed with the director to star opposite Rooney Mara in the experimental drama A Ghost Story, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in early 2017.[137] Affleck's character dies suddenly at the outset and he spends much of the film covered by a white sheet with two eye-holes, haunting his former home. David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter said Affleck's performance managed to resonate despite limited time onscreen.[138] Peter Debruge of Variety said Affleck "has never been an easy actor to read. He's a low-charisma mumbler who tends to keep his characters' emotions bottled up, making him the rare performer who can convey as much with a sheet over his head as he does without."[139] Jordan Hoffman of The Guardian described him as "cinema's finest mumbler ... I can't even tell if he's speaking or just emitting high-pitched vibrations anymore."[140] In 2018, Affleck starred opposite Robert Redford in the outlaw drama The Old Man & the Gun, his third collaboration with Lowery.[141]

In 2019, he directed, wrote and starred in the survival drama Light of My Life.[142][143] It had its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival on February 8, 2019[144] and received positive reviews from film critics.[145] Affleck next starred in Our Friend, opposite Dakota Johnson and Jason Segel, directed by Gabriela Cowperthwaite, based upon a true story revolving around a couple, whose best friend moves in for support, following a cancer diagnosis.[146] which had its world premiere at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival.[147] Affleck next acted in and produced The World to Come, directed by Mona Fastvold alongside Katherine Waterston and Vanessa Kirby.[148]

Personal life

Relationships and family

Affleck was introduced to actress Summer Phoenix by her brother, Joaquin, in the late 1990s.[18][149] They began dating in 2000,[150] and acted together in both the 2000 film Committed[151] and a 2002 stage production of This Is Our Youth.[152] The couple became engaged in January 2004[149] and married on June 3, 2006, in Savannah, Georgia.[153] They have two sons, Indiana August (b. May 2004)[27][154][155] and Atticus (b. December 2007).[154][156][157] On August 1, 2017, Phoenix officially filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences",[158] and it was finalized later that year.[159] Affleck has said it was an amicable divorce and that they remain friends.[25]

He has been in a relationship with actress Caylee Cowan since January 2021.[160]

Alcoholism

In a 2016 interview, Affleck said that he had been sober for "almost three years ... My father was a disaster of a drinker, my grandmother was an alcoholic, my brother spent some time in rehab – it's in our genes."[25]

Political views

In 2008, Affleck filmed an episode of documentary series 4Real, in which he visited the Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma, and remarked upon the progress they had made due largely to "their own resourcefulness and determination and their character, and not because of the goodness of our collective heart."[161] During the 2016 presidential campaign, Affleck supported Hillary Clinton[35][162] and characterized Donald Trump as "a dangerous fool".[63][163] In 2017, multiple financial contributions to Trump were made by Affleck's production company, which he co-founded with John Powers Middleton. In a statement, Affleck denied involvement: "I had no knowledge of it, was never asked, and never would have authorized it ... The policies of the Trump administration, and the values they represent, are antithetical to everything I believe in."[164]

Sexual harassment allegations

Affleck has settled two sexual harassment lawsuits out of court for an undisclosed amount.[165]

In 2010, two of his former co-workers from I'm Still Here filed civil lawsuits against Affleck. Amanda White, one of the film's producers, sued Affleck for $2 million with multiple complaints including sexual harassment and breach of oral contract.[166] She detailed numerous "uninvited and unwelcome sexual advances" in the workplace. White alleged that Affleck refused to honor the terms of the production agreement, including her fee, in retaliation.[166]

The film's cinematographer, Magdalena Gorka, sued Affleck for $2.25 million with multiple complaints including intentional infliction of emotional distress and breach of oral contract.[167][168] Gorka alleged that she had been subjected to "routine instances" of sexual harassment by crew members including Antony Langdon, "within the presence and with the active encouragement of Affleck."[167]

Initially, Affleck denied the allegations and threatened to countersue; his lawyer described both claims as "total fiction" and "completely fabricated".[169][170] No countersuits were filed.[165] His lawyer claimed, "Both women left the film in April 2009 and both were refused when they wanted to return", and "there was no mention of sexual harassment before June [2010]."[171] The film's associate producer Nicole Acacio and an unnamed female editor both defended Affleck's conduct on set, saying that "I never saw anything out of the ordinary either on or off set", and "nothing I've ever witnessed would lead me to think he could ever do anything like that."[169][172] The lawsuits were later settled out of court.[173] Both women received credit for their work on the project; no details of any financial settlement were released.[174]

Affleck addressed the allegations in a 2016 interview with The New York Times, stating: "It was settled to the satisfaction of all. I was hurt and upset — I am sure all were — but I am over it. It was an unfortunate situation — mostly for the innocent bystanders of the families of those involved."[175] The allegations and lawsuits attracted scrutiny during the 2016–17 film awards season, when Affleck was recognized for his performance in Manchester by the Sea, which culminated in further controversy following his Best Actor win at the 89th Academy Awards.[176][177][178] The following year, amidst the Me Too movement, Affleck withdrew from presenting the award for Best Actress at the 90th Academy Awards.[179]

In a 2018 interview with the Associated Press, Affleck discussed the lawsuits and allegations in light of the Me Too movement.[180] He characterized his behavior at the time of the lawsuits as defensive and said he has since worked to understand his own culpability.[180] He acknowledged that the set of I'm Still Here was "an unprofessional environment" and that "I contributed to that unprofessional environment and I tolerated that kind of behavior from other people and I wish that I hadn't. And I regret a lot of that ... I behaved in a way and allowed others to behave in a way that was really unprofessional. And I'm sorry."[180]

Philanthropy

Affleck has been a vegan since 1995.[181] He has been involved with animal rights campaigns for both People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)[182][183][184] and Farm Sanctuary.[185]

In 2017, Affleck supported the 37th Annual National Veterans Wheelchair Games[186] hosted by Paralyzed Veterans of America. In January 2019, he attended the fourth annual Veterans Awards as a presenter.[187]

In June 2020, Affleck, with his mother Christine, founded a fundraising effort, Stories from Tomorrow. The initiative was co-sponsored by Room to Read, WriteGirl and New Earth, an organization where Affleck is a board member. 'Stories from Tomorrow' matches original writing by children ages 5–18 with celebrities who read their work, which is then presented in video form. The money raised will be used to ensure that children around the world have access to education and food.[188][189][190]

great grandfather Heinrich Boldt known for the discovery of the Curmsun Disc emigrated from Prussia in the late 1840s 10 11 His mother was a Radcliffe College and Harvard educated elementary school teacher His father worked sporadically as an auto mechanic 12 13 a carpenter 14 a bookie 15 16 an electrician 17 a bartender 18 and a janitor at Harvard University 19 20 21 In the mid 1960s he had been a stage manager director writer and actor with the Theater Company of Boston 22 23 24 During Affleck s childhood his father was a disaster of a drinker 25 Affleck first started acting by reenacting what was happening at home during role play exercises at Alateen meetings 26 After his parents divorced when he was nine Affleck and his older brother Ben lived with their mother and visited their father weekly 25 He learned to speak Spanish during a year spent traveling around Mexico with his mother and brother when he was ten 27 The two brothers spent all of our time together pretty much Obviously at school we were in different grades but we had the same friends 27 When Affleck was fourteen his father moved to Indio California to enter a rehabilitation facility and later worked there as an addiction counselor 17 28 29 30 He reconnected with his father during visits to California as a teenager I got to know him really because he was sober for the first time The man I knew before that was just completely different 25 31 Growing up in a politically active liberal household in Central Square Cambridge 15 32 Affleck and his brother were surrounded by people who worked in the arts 33 were regularly taken to the theater by their mother 34 and were encouraged to make their own home movies 35 The brothers sometimes appeared in local weather commercials and as movie extras because of their mother s friendship with a local casting director 18 31 36 Affleck acted in numerous high school theater productions while a student at Cambridge Rindge and Latin School 31 37 He has said he wouldn t be an actor if not for his high school theater teacher Gerry Speca He kind of turned me on to acting why it can be fun how it can be rewarding 37 At age eighteen Affleck moved to Los Angeles for a year to pursue an acting career and lived with his brother and their childhood friend Matt Damon 38 Despite having the best possible first experience while filming To Die For 39 he spent much of the year working as a busboy at a restaurant in Pasadena He decided to move to Washington D C to study politics at George Washington University 18 He soon transferred to Columbia University in New York City where he followed the Core Curriculum for a total of two years 40 41 42 However he did not graduate I would do a semester of school go do a movie Opportunities kept presenting themselves that were hard for me to turn down By then I didn t really have roots at the school or a group of friends 39 Career Edit1988 2006 Early work Edit Affleck acted professionally during his childhood due to his mother s friendship with a Cambridge area casting director Patty Collinge 39 In addition to local weather commercials and movie extra work 43 he appeared as Kevin Bacon s brother in the PBS television movie Lemon Sky 1988 directed by Collinge s husband Jan Egleson 39 and as a young Robert F Kennedy in the ABC miniseries The Kennedys of Massachusetts 1990 44 These early acting experiences meant nothing more than a day off from school to Affleck and he only began to consider a career as an actor when in high school 43 When he later moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career in earnest his first movie role was as a sociopathic teenager in Gus Van Sant s 1995 satirical comedy To Die For During filming in Toronto Affleck shared an apartment with co star Joaquin Phoenix and they became close friends 35 Peter Travers of Rolling Stone praised Affleck s performance saying he skillfully capture s the pang of adolescence among no hopers 45 46 However Affleck then had a disappointing experience while making the 1996 drama Race the Sun and as soon as the film finished I went to school 41 While studying at Columbia Affleck had a supporting role in Van Sant s Good Will Hunting 1997 written by his brother and their childhood friend Matt Damon 18 39 Despite arranging a first meeting between Van Sant and his brother to discuss the project Affleck was reluctant to leave college temporarily to act in the film 41 He was eventually persuaded to play one of four friends living in South Boston a role written specifically for him 38 and improvised many of his lines 47 48 Jay Carr of The Boston Globe praised the emotional subtleties and variety of the performances and singled out Casey Affleck s junior member of the quartet dying to be taken as seriously as the others 49 Following the critical and commercial success of the movie Affleck s career opportunities did not significantly improve At the same time his life became exposed to the public and parts of his life became part of pop culture and public life 18 Also in 1997 he had a small role in Kevin Smith s Chasing Amy starring his brother He returned to university for a semester before quitting to focus on his acting career 41 Affleck s career entered a dark period with a series of supporting roles in critical and commercial failures 38 35 He later remarked It dawned on me late that I should be selective about what I do 39 In the independent comedy Desert Blue 1998 he starred opposite Kate Hudson as a small town jock 50 Peter Stack of the San Francisco Chronicle felt that while interesting his character was entirely underdeveloped 51 In 1999 he made an uncredited cameo in the teen comedy American Pie 52 and appeared as a punk rocker romantically involved with both Gaby Hoffmann and Christina Ricci s characters in the New Year s Eve ensemble comedy 200 Cigarettes 53 54 In the comedy Drowning Mona 2000 starring Danny DeVito Affleck played a shy gardener suspected of murder 55 Elvis Mitchell of The New York Times acknowledged in an otherwise negative review that his role was well played 56 Also in 2000 Affleck had a small role in the comedy Attention Shoppers and played Fortinbras in Ethan Hawke s Hamlet 57 He appeared as the brother of Heather Graham s character in the romantic comedy Committed 2000 with Emanuel Levy of Variety praising a terrific performance 58 Also in 2001 he had a small role in American Pie 2 and appeared in the teen slasher film Soul Survivors Robert Koehler of Variety found him bland 59 while Carla Meyer of the San Francisco Chronicle said that he did not make much of an impression but may have been too depressed to really act 60 One positive experience Affleck had during this period was working with Van Sant and cinematographer Harris Savides on Finding Forrester 2000 as Van Sant s assistant and technical consultant Can you imagine a better film school than that Gus is not only somebody who I love a lot but is also who has taught me maybe more than anybody else in film 35 61 Affleck found a degree of commercial success when he was cast in Steven Soderbergh s heist comedy Ocean s Eleven 2001 starring George Clooney Brad Pitt and Damon In roles Soderbergh originally intended for Luke Wilson and Owen Wilson 62 Affleck and Scott Caan played Mormon brothers and wisecracking mechanics who help to rob three Las Vegas casinos simultaneously 63 While it was a great fun social experience Affleck spent much of his time on set being like 100 feet away from the camera in the background 38 He would later reprise his role in Ocean s Twelve 2004 and Ocean s Thirteen 2007 In 2002 Affleck and Damon starred in Van Sant s experimental drama Gerry playing two men who get lost while hiking in the desert 64 65 Affleck Damon and Van Sant conceived of the idea and wrote the screenplay together while living in neighboring New York apartments 47 The film which had minimal dialogue received mixed reviews 66 67 Affleck who rarely watches his own movies 63 said of Gerry in 2016 That was an incredible experience I saw one scene recently out of context at the Telluride Film Festival and I can t believe anyone ever sat through the whole thing It probably works better as a whole but one scene lifted out I thought This is unbearable 39 Also in 2002 Affleck starred with Damon and then girlfriend Summer Phoenix in a West End stage production of Kenneth Lonergan s This Is Our Youth 18 68 69 Lonergan and Affleck became friends during rehearsals 70 and Affleck later acted in workshop productions of Lonergan s plays in New York 71 72 Affleck s first leading role was in 2006 s little seen independent comedy drama Lonesome Jim directed by Steve Buscemi He played a depressed writer who returns from New York to live with his parents in Indiana and begins a relationship with Liv Tyler s character 73 Buscemi has said he knew Affleck would be able to carry the movie after watching his performance in Gerry 74 75 Stephen Hunter of The Washington Post remarked Affleck s interesting He probably can t be a star in big movies because his drawback is a voice that sounds like a snivel drawn through a wet nasal passage into a whine And yet in certain kinds of films this kind he s 100 percent authentic 76 Ty Burr of The Boston Globe said Affleck gets so far under the skin of this semi charming jerk that the performance becomes both brave and aggravating 77 However Stephen Holden of The New York Times felt it would be a stronger movie if Mr Affleck had the wherewithal to bare more of the passive aggressive rage inside a more resourceful actor would have used this blank slate to scrawl a thousand telling details 78 Also in 2006 he had a supporting role in the romantic comedy The Last Kiss as a friend of Zach Braff s character 79 2007 2012 Breakthrough Edit Affleck had a breakthrough year in 2007 with the release of two films featuring critically acclaimed performances 80 The first of these performances was in the Western drama The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford in which he played Robert Ford to Brad Pitt s Jesse James 81 Affleck auditioned repeatedly for the role 82 While the director Andrew Dominik had seen Affleck in Gerry 83 84 he cast him partly because of his beautiful sounding voice The voice is the thing that really gets you 85 86 Manohla Dargis of The New York Times described Affleck s performance as a revelation which manages to make the character seem dumb and the actor wily and smart 87 Similarly Claudia Puig of USA Today declared him a real revelation who perfectly inhabits the role 88 while Todd McCarthy of Variety said Affleck made an indelible impression as the insecure physically unprepossessing weakling 89 Dana Stevens of Slate said the movie belongs to Affleck who goes for broke in a wonderfully brave and weird performance as the craven naif Bob Somehow he makes us want to flee this creep at top speed even as we pray no harm will come to him For his performance Affleck was nominated for the Golden Globe Award Screen Actors Guild Award and Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor Affleck on the set of Gone Baby Gone in 2006 While he was filming The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford in Calgary Affleck was visited by his brother who offered him the leading role in his directorial project the Boston crime thriller Gone Baby Gone 2007 39 While his brother was a first time director and in the midst of a career downturn Affleck had confidence in the project I felt like I knew him better than anyone else did 39 90 His performance as an inexperienced private investigator tasked with finding a missing child earned Affleck further plaudits for his acting 91 Manohla Dargis of The New York Times said I m not sure exactly when Casey Affleck became such a good actor Most actors want you to love them but he doesn t seem to know that or maybe he doesn t care 92 Jim Ridley of The Village Voice described him as a major talent coming into his own 93 while Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle remarked that the revelation is Casey Affleck who heretofore has been a rather wormy uncharismatic screen presence 94 Ty Burr of The Boston Globe commented I d never stopped to consider Casey Affleck as a movie star before but under his big brother s tutelage he blooms as a leading man of richly watchable savvy and intelligence 95 While The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford and Gone Baby Gone were respectively a financial failure and a modest box office success 85 96 Affleck s acting career was widely believed to be at a turning point 35 However he lost career momentum while directing I m Still Here 2010 a divisive mockumentary about the musical career of his friend and then brother in law Joaquin Phoenix 35 While Affleck later clarified that it was a planned staged and scripted work of fiction 97 there was much media speculation during filming about whether Phoenix s public behaviour was performance art or a genuine breakdown 98 Claudia Puig of USA Today remarked that whether truth or folly it s not particularly well made Even in the midst of Phoenix s most oddball and obsessive torment it s boring What exactly is the point of a joke that nobody really gets 99 Ty Burr of The Boston Globe described it as an interesting but half baked exercise in persona deconstruction celebrity politics and meta meta entertainment Parts of it are close to genius most of it is actively torturous to watch 100 Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times said the film turns out to be much more interesting to speculate about than to actually watch 101 Reflecting on the experience in 2016 Affleck said We never thought people would actually think it was real In hindsight we should have had a press junket and done talk shows and said how it was a mockumentary 72 Affleck used his own money to fund I m Still Here and after running out of cash 97 filming was paused for a month to allow him to play a Texan serial killer in Michael Winterbottom s crime drama The Killer Inside Me 2010 102 Affleck later expressed regret over the movie s graphic violence 72 Philip French of The Guardian found him disturbingly brilliant 103 while Peter Travers of Rolling Stone praised a mesmeric implosively powerful performance 104 Mark Olsen of the Los Angeles Times said Affleck showcases his uncanny ability to project a person holding two thoughts in his head at once as he often gives away nothing in his face to convey the firestorm obviously raging in his soul 105 Affleck then had a supporting role in the heist comedy Tower Heist 2011 106 and voiced a character in the 2012 animation ParaNorman 107 2013 present Wider recognition Edit After spending a big chunk of time directing I m Still Here and dealing with the subsequent backlash 108 Affleck returned to regular acting work in 2013 It was ugly for a minute I sort of remembered why I liked acting and I missed it 61 In David Lowery s Ain t Them Bodies Saints 2013 Affleck and Rooney Mara starred as outlaw lovers in 1970s era Texas 109 Affleck was drawn to the opportunity to play a character who was a much better person than anyone thought after a string of roles as assassins or murderers or just creeps 109 Shannon M Houston of Paste described him as the movie s standout actor Down to his very jawline Affleck captures the physicality and feeling of a sincerely romantic outlaw 110 Betsy Sharkey of the Los Angeles Times remarked Affleck plays conflicted souls so very well Here you wish for a criminal s redemption 111 Matt Pais of the Chicago Tribune said He has great instincts when it comes to morally compromised anti heroes and without trolling for our sympathy Affleck s Bob is more than just a collection of behaviors it s a smartly considered performance 112 Sebastian Doggart of The Guardian said he shows himself again to be a master of the criminal outsider 113 while Chuck Wilson of The Village Voice found him flat out heartbreaking 114 The opportunity to act opposite Christian Bale in the drama Out of the Furnace reinvigorated Affleck and reminded him why he enjoyed acting 115 Claudia Puig of USA Today found his performance as an Iraq War veteran dealing with posttraumatic stress disorder completely captivating The chemistry between Bale and Affleck is powerful intensifying the credibility of their brotherly bond 116 Matt Pais of the Chicago Tribune said Affleck finds something fierce and noble in uneven material and in his character s rage He s not like any other actor in American movies 112 Ann Hornaday of The Washington Post described the performance as a searing portrayal of a young man who pushes himself to the punishing physical limit in search of both money and catharsis 117 Manohla Dargis of The New York Times remarked that Affleck can come across as intensely vulnerable on screen which nicely works for a broken man like Rodney 118 In 2014 Affleck and Jessica Chastain had supporting roles in Christopher Nolan s science fiction film Interstellar as the grown up children of Matthew McConaughey s character 119 with Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter describing his character as thinly developed 120 Also in 2014 Affleck and producer John Powers Middleton launched the production company The Affleck Middleton Project 121 Affleck starred in three films in 2016 the first two of which underperformed financially 122 123 In John Hillcoat s crime thriller Triple 9 Affleck played an uncorruptible detective Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle said he arrests our attention I wonder if any other screen actor has ever seemed so focused and so distracted at the same time He thinks more than he says and so we listen trying to get the part he s leaving out 124 Justin Chang of Variety described him as one of the most persuasive leading men of his generation 125 while Brogan Morris of Paste declared him maybe Hollywood s best offbeat leading man Few actors can suggest so much with such quiet precision and even here Affleck is compulsively watchable despite his undercooked character 126 In Disney s disaster drama The Finest Hours Affleck played a taciturn engineer on board a sinking ship David Sims of The Atlantic said he gives the kind of measured thought out performance he s so eminently capable of even if the film isn t complex enough to rise to his level He animates an introverted character with subtle mental busywork whenever he s on the screen 127 Sheri Linden of The Hollywood Reporter noted that he manages to turn his man of few words into the movie s most compelling figure 128 Affleck in October 2016 In his final role of 2016 Affleck starred as Lee Chandler a grief stricken alcoholic loner in Kenneth Lonergan s drama Manchester by the Sea One of the film s producers Matt Damon initially intended to star in the film When scheduling conflicts made this unfeasible Damon agreed to step aside on the condition that he be replaced with Affleck 129 Lonergan readily agreed 130 remarking that Affleck was the natural person to go to 131 Affleck had close relationships with both men and had previously offered notes on early drafts of the script 63 The movie was a box office success 132 and Affleck s performance received widespread critical praise A O Scott of The New York Times described it as one of the most fiercely disciplined screen performances in recent memory He conveys both Lee s inner avalanche of feeling and the numb decorum that holds it back 133 Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times praised his quietly ferocious performance his willingness to submerge himself into this character to an almost frightening extent 134 Ann Hornaday of The Washington Post said the film was anchored by a quietly volcanic central performance by Casey Affleck in a breathtaking breakout role he s long deserved 135 David Fear of Rolling Stone stated He s given impressive turns before but the way Affleck gradually shows you the man s bone deep grief and emotional damage makes you believe that one of this generation s finest actors has simply been waiting to be coaxed out 136 Affleck won the National Board of Review Critics Choice Golden Globe BAFTA and Academy Award for his performance After dropping out of Lowery s Pete s Dragon in order to star in Manchester by the Sea 63 Affleck reteamed with the director to star opposite Rooney Mara in the experimental drama A Ghost Story which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in early 2017 137 Affleck s character dies suddenly at the outset and he spends much of the film covered by a white sheet with two eye holes haunting his former home David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter said Affleck s performance managed to resonate despite limited time onscreen 138 Peter Debruge of Variety said Affleck has never been an easy actor to read He s a low charisma mumbler who tends to keep his characters emotions bottled up making him the rare performer who can convey as much with a sheet over his head as he does without 139 Jordan Hoffman of The Guardian described him as cinema s finest mumbler I can t even tell if he s speaking or just emitting high pitched vibrations anymore 140 In 2018 Affleck starred opposite Robert Redford in the outlaw drama The Old Man amp the Gun his third collaboration with Lowery 141 In 2019 he directed wrote and starred in the survival drama Light of My Life 142 143 It had its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival on February 8 2019 144 and received positive reviews from film critics 145 Affleck next starred in Our Friend opposite Dakota Johnson and Jason Segel directed by Gabriela Cowperthwaite based upon a true story revolving around a couple whose best friend moves in for support following a cancer diagnosis 146 which had its world premiere at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival 147 Affleck next acted in and produced The World to Come directed by Mona Fastvold alongside Katherine Waterston and Vanessa Kirby 148 Personal life EditRelationships and family Edit Affleck was introduced to actress Summer Phoenix by her brother Joaquin in the late 1990s 18 149 They began dating in 2000 150 and acted together in both the 2000 film Committed 151 and a 2002 stage production of This Is Our Youth 152 The couple became engaged in January 2004 149 and married on June 3 2006 in Savannah Georgia 153 They have two sons Indiana August b May 2004 27 154 155 and Atticus b December 2007 154 156 157 On August 1 2017 Phoenix officially filed for divorce citing irreconcilable differences 158 and it was finalized later that year 159 Affleck has said it was an amicable divorce and that they remain friends 25 He has been in a relationship with actress Caylee Cowan since January 2021 160 Alcoholism Edit In a 2016 interview Affleck said that he had been sober for almost three years My father was a disaster of a drinker my grandmother was an alcoholic my brother spent some time in rehab it s in our genes 25 Political views Edit In 2008 Affleck filmed an episode of documentary series 4Real in which he visited the Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma and remarked upon the progress they had made due largely to their own resourcefulness and determination and their character and not because of the goodness of our collective heart 161 During the 2016 presidential campaign Affleck supported Hillary Clinton 35 162 and characterized Donald Trump as a dangerous fool 63 163 In 2017 multiple financial contributions to Trump were made by Affleck s production company which he co founded with John Powers Middleton In a statement Affleck denied involvement I had no knowledge of it was never asked and never would have authorized it The policies of the Trump administration and the values they represent are antithetical to everything I believe in 164 Sexual harassment allegations EditAffleck has settled two sexual harassment lawsuits out of court for an undisclosed amount 165 In 2010 two of his former co workers from I m Still Here filed civil lawsuits against Affleck Amanda White one of the film s producers sued Affleck for 2 million with multiple complaints including sexual harassment and breach of oral contract 166 She detailed numerous uninvited and unwelcome sexual advances in the workplace White alleged that Affleck refused to honor the terms of the production agreement including her fee in retaliation 166 The film s cinematographer Magdalena Gorka sued Affleck for 2 25 million with multiple complaints including intentional infliction of emotional distress and breach of oral contract 167 168 Gorka alleged that she had been subjected to routine instances of sexual harassment by crew members including Antony Langdon within the presence and with the active encouragement of Affleck 167 Initially Affleck denied the allegations and threatened to countersue his lawyer described both claims as total fiction and completely fabricated 169 170 No countersuits were filed 165 His lawyer claimed Both women left the film in April 2009 and both were refused when they wanted to return and there was no mention of sexual harassment before June 2010 171 The film s associate producer Nicole Acacio and an unnamed female editor both

was an unprofessional environment and that I contributed to that unprofessional environment and I tolerated that kind of behavior from other people and I wish that I hadn t And I regret a lot of that I behaved in a way and allowed others to behave in a way that was really unprofessional And I m sorry 180 Philanthropy EditAffleck has been a vegan since 1995 181 He has been involved with animal
