Age 22. Why him? Let's face it, "younger brother"
isn't the easiest label to shake--just ask Frank Stallone, Roger Clinton, or Daniel
Baldwin. But scene-stealing turns as an alienated teen in 1995's To Die For and a scrappy
drinking buddy in the Academy Award-winning Good Will Hunting means Ben isn't hardly the
only Affleck worth watching. Work habits remaining completely self-deprecating about his
spot on the Hollywood food chain (the guy lives rent-free with his grandmother in
Manhattan--'nuff said). "I'm a total fraud. It's not even like I get a lot of scripts
that aren't for crazy loudmouth obnoxious guys, but once I'm doing something, I just
pace a lot and say to myself, 'This sucks. That sucks.' Being panicked makes me focused
in a way." Next? The star-studded ensemble 200 Cigarettes, where he shares screen time
with Christina Ricci and Courtney Love; Desert Blue, a comedy-drama; and Committed in
which he plays Heather Graham's brother.
