The Viewing

Ok so for my actor, I chose Matt Damon.  I’ve seen most of his work, and plan to see his upcoming films as well, like Oceans’ Thirteen and The Departed.  He’s finishing up the Bourne Trilogy, with the last film coming out in 2007.  He’s been in films like, The Talented Mr., Ripley, Mystic Pizza, School Ties, and Dogma.  He’s done almost every genre of film, but I think the best he’s done is comedy.  He does a good job of playing the dry sarcastic roles.    He wrote his first film Good Will Hunting with Ben Affleck, which turned out to be a huge success.  Also with Affleck, they started their own show called Project Greenlight.  This show gives ordinary screen writers and directors the chance to show their skills and get a film made.  It’s a reality TV – show with a purpose.  There are two contests, one for who has the best screen play and the other for the best director. They are then paired up and the written becomes the visual.  Damon has not only stared and written films, he has also produced a few TV series.  At 36, he’s doing pretty well in his career and he should continue to do great things.
