Matt Damon is an American actor, producer and screenwriter. He made his screen debut with a minor role in the 1988 film Mystic Pizza. After appearing in a series of supporting parts in much of the 1990s, Damon was cast by Francis Ford Coppola as the lead of the 1997 legal drama The Rainmaker. His breakthrough came later that year when he played the title role of an unrecognized genius in Good Will Hunting, a drama which he also co-wrote with Ben Affleck. They won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay and Damon was nominated for Best Actor. He followed it by playing the title roles of a soldier in Steven Spielberg's war drama Saving Private Ryan (1998) and of the criminal Tom Ripley in the thriller The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999), both of which gained critical and commercial success. A production company he formed in 2000 with Affleck and Sean Bailey, named LivePlanet, produced Project Greenlight (2001-05, 2015), a television series that helps newcomers develop their first film. Damon has served as the executive producer of a number of projects directed by winners of the show. Damon's profile continued to expand in the 2000s, as he took on starring roles in two lucrative film franchises. He featured as a con man in Steven Soderbergh's Ocean's Trilogy (2001-07) and played the titular spy Jason Bourne in four of the five films in the Bourne series (2002-16). Damon co-wrote, co-edited and starred in the drama Gerry in 2002, which polarized critics. He played an energy analyst in the thriller Syriana in 2005, and the following year, he collaborated with Leonardo DiCaprio in the acclaimed crime drama The Departed.
