He played the lawyer-turned-vigilante in the 2003 film after being a fan of the comics since childhood.

Although the movie received mostly poor reviews,Afflecks performance was praised overall.

For the role of Matts best friend Foggy, a surprising choice was in the running.

Although the team loved his performance, he was passed over because of his age.

However, it was ultimately the right decision not to give him the role.
