Matt Damon

Damon plays David Norris in the sci-fi thriller, The Adjustment Bureau. In the story, the events in a person’s life are already written and if anyone veers off their path, the Adjustment Bureau always makes sure to correct it. All of these change when they meet Norris. After meeting the love of his life, Norris decides to contest the bureau. Co-starring Emily Blunt and Anthony Mackie.

I wanted to do the movie because it was unlike anything I’ve ever done. I just loved the idea, and obviously the love story really has to work for the whole other thing to work, for the whole idea for the adjustment bureau to work.

Damon plays George Lonegan in the drama, Hereafter. Three strangers from the opposite ends of the world are connected to each other in the afterlife in some way. After the most unfortunate events of their lives take place, they rely on Lonegan to explain what happens in the Hereafter. Co-starring Marie Lelay and directed by Clint Eastwood.

Well the first thing that drew me was Clint. I’d do the phone book with the guy if he said ‘Hey I got a good idea.’

Damon is nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the 82nd Academy Awards for portraying Francois Pienaar in Invictus.

To be directed by Clint Eastwood everyday and to sit across the table from Morgan Freeman and watch him do what he did was a dream come true. I’m so grateful that this role came my way.

Damon plays Mark Whitacre in the drama comedy, The Informant! A company is being investigated for price fixing by the FBI and they needs eyes and ears inside the corporation. So the Feds’ convince bi-polar Whitacre, who is in upper management, to spy on his company for them. Co-starring Tony Hale.

It’s another one of those things as an actor that I’ve never been asked to do… There were so many little things. It was fun kinda putting the character together.

Damon plays the role of Jason Bourne once again in The Bourne Ultimatum. After British reporter Simon Ross unveils secrets of Operation Blackbriar and Treadstone, Bourne schedules a meeting. Bourne believes he holds the final answers to his past, but will have to evade the CIA once again to get to the Blackbriar documents. Co-starring Joan Allen and Julia Stiles.

The great thing about Bourne is he’s so good at so many things, that I get a different stunt double for every possible…I’ve had more guys double me in these movies.

Damon plays CIA agent Edward Wilson in the crime drama, The Good Shepherd. The film tells the story of the turbulent beginnings of the Central Intelligence Agency through the eyes of one agent. Wilson, a morally upright man with great values may have to sacrifice his ideals for the sake of his career. Co-starring Angelina Jolie and Alec Baldwin and directed by Robert De Niro. On working with De Niro:

It was a very subtle performance and that was by design, and that was all Bob. And I don’t know if I would have done it quite that way had it not been him.

Damon plays Bryan Woodman in the drama, Syriana. After a U.S energy plant in the Middle East loses drilling rights to a Chinese competitor, the plant merges with a smaller company in Kazakhstan. Full of corruption and politics, the film parallels the stories of four men deeply involved in the oil industry: a CIA agent, a lawyer, an energy analyst, and an immigrant worker. Co-starring George Clooney, Amanda Peet, and Christopher Plummer.

It’s the kind of movie that you plan to go out and have a drink or cup of coffee afterwards and talk about it. That’s kind of the point.

Damon plays Linus Caldwell once again in the crime thriller, Ocean’s Twelve. Casino owner Terry Benedict has found Danny Ocean and his crew and demands his $150 million back, with interest. To pay off the debt, Danny and company head to Europe to steal the priceless Fabergé Imperial Coronation Egg. Co-starring George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Andy Garcia, Julia Roberts, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Scott Caan, and Casey Affleck.

It became a pretty tight-knit group of guys. We had a really great time working together, traveling together. It’s a very easy ‘yes’ when the phone rings.

Damon plays Bob Tenor in the comedy, Stuck on You. Bob and Walt are conjoined twins who do not let their handicap get the best of them. When Walt decides to make his dream of becoming an actor a reality, the duo make their way to Hollywood. But Bob’s shy personality may be what’s holding Walt back. Co-starring Greg Kinnear and Eva Mendes.

We have similar senses of humor. At least he makes me laugh and I think I bring other things to the friendship.

Damon plays Linus Caldwell in the crime thriller, Ocean’s Eleven. I team of burglars and con men led by Danny Ocean set out to do the biggest heist of their lives – rob the three busiest Vegas casinos in one night. There’s $150 million on the line and casino owner Terry Benedict will not go down without a fight. Co-starring George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Andy Garcia, Julia Roberts, Scott Caan, and Casey Affleck.

We all had such a good time there. We had a good time with each other.
