Matt Damon is an American actor best known for his work in the Bourne Series. He and his close friend, fellow actor and director Ben Affleck, dropped out of college to pursue acting careers. Damon made small roles in films like Mystic Pizza before critics finally took notice to his performance as a drug addicted soldier in Courage Under Fire. This was followed by Good Will Hunting, a film that Damon wrote with Affleck and starred in, shooting him into instant stardom and winning him a Best Screenplay Oscar. In the following years, Damon starred in many high profile movies such as Saving Private Ryan, the Ocean's Eleven series, The Departed, and of course, the Bourne Series. He is set to appear on the TV movie Behind the Candelebra in May and Elysium later on this year.
