Matt Damon

Matthew Paige renownedly known as Matt Damon was born in October 8, 1970. He is an actor that has appeared in numerous films such as ‘Saving Private Ryan, the Ocean’s trilogy and his most successful role as Jason Bourne in the Bourne Series.

His breakthrough into his thriving established career began during the 1990’s when he and good friend Ben Affleck wrote a screenplay about a young math genius, which was then pitched around Hollywood for a good period of time. The script was eventually changed after they received advice from numerous directors and screenwriters. The script eventually became Good Will Hunting and received nine Academy Awards nominations then eventually winning them both Oscars for Best Original Screenplay. But this wasn’t the fuel the official launched his career into what it is today. In 1997 after Damon picked up an Oscar nomination & an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for co-staring with Robin Williams,  where he met Steven Spielberg.

He picked up the role James Francis Ryan in the saving Private Ryan. The movie was well received by audiences and garnered considerable critical acclaim, winning several awards for film, cast, and crew as well as earning significant returns at the box office. With the success of this movie he was able to maintain his career success featuring in several films which included The Talented Mr. Ripley and Ocean trilogy where he worked along side a star filled cast consisting of headliners George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Julia Roberts.

My favorite movies of his are the Bourne movies, which in he plays an assassin agent who is suffering from amnesia. Throughout movies he tries to piece back his past to find out whom he really is. The reason why Matt Damon is one of my inspirational actors is due to intellectual mind and whit that he portrays in out of his movies. He’s is a great inspiration as actor, someone who got better and better in the industry throughout his career continually exceeding himself with every movie.  I look forward to his future films and appearances on the big screen.
