Ben Affleck has starred in successful movies from different genres, but in the case of his $557 million sci-fi hit, his commentary on it might be even better than the movie itself. Ben Affleck rose to fame in the 1990s mostly thanks to his work in Good Will Hunting, which he co-wrote with Matt Damon and which gave him his first Oscar, in the category of Best Original Screenplay. After that, Affleck became one of the biggest stars of the late 1990s and 2000s, with one of his biggest projects being the sci-fi movie Armageddon.
