Ben Affleck's rise to fame began with his 1984 role in the PBS series, Voyage of the Mimi and in films such as 1992's School Ties. His 1997 appearance in Good Will Hunting catapulted him to stardom. However, his relationship with Jennifer Lopez and subsequent turn in the infamous Gigli dimmed his star somewhat.
After taking time out to begin a family with actress Jennifer Garner, Affleck has returned to the cineplex with numerous projects.
