Benjamin Geza Affleck


Benjamin Geza Affleck was born on 15th August 1972, in Berkeley, California, USA. Then he moved to Boston. He was born to parents Tim Affleck, a social worker who is now divorced from Ben's mother Chris Affleck, a school teacher. He was marriage with Jennifer Garne on 29th June 2005. From her he has 1 child.

This dark-haired, buffed actor first appeared in front of the cameras as a young tyke visiting Mayan ruins in the 1980 PBS production "The Voyage of the Mimi".
At 8 years old Ben was given his first steady acting job on the PBS mini-series “The Voyage of the Mimi” (1984).

He made his big introduction into feature films in 1993 when he was cast in Dazed and Confused (1993). After that he did mostly independent films like Kevin Smith's Mallrats (1995) and Chasing Amy (1997) which were great for Ben's career, receiving renowned appreciation for his works at the Sundance film festival.

Even as the actor was offered an increasing succession of leading man parts in major motion pictures, he kept a hand in the behind-the-scenes field that earned him an Oscar. Ben Affleck admitted himself into a rehab program for alcohol abuse in 2001.
