This page will contain videos about Ben Affleck, as they become available.Ben AffleckBen AffleckBenjamin Geza Affleck (born August 15, 1972), is an American actor. ActingBorn in Berkeley, California, he grew up in the Boston, Massachusetts area. He currently lives in Santa Monica, California. He was a child actor, having roles on television series and made-for-television movies when young. He came to national attention when he and good friend Matt Damon wrote the screenplay for Good Will Hunting (1997), for which they won an Academy Award for Best Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen. He is also known for his roles in many of Kevin Smith's films - all of them, in fact, except for Clerks. Along with Matt Damon and producer Chris Moore, Affleck founded the production company LivePlanet, through which the three friends created the documentary series Project Greenlight. Affleck's most recent films, including Gigli, Paycheck, Jersey Girl, and Surviving Christmas have been box office bombs. RomanceIn 2002 it was announced that he was engaged to actress/singer Jennifer Lopez, and the relationship between the two received an extremely ham-handed treatment by the entertainment media. Both subsequently lost fans and credibility, probably due in part to the saturation of Affleck/Lopez interviews and projects, and especially after the notorious failure of Gigli, which in part was due to the negative publicity (generated for no apparent reason except for the fact they were both famous) which led to the couple being dubbed "Bennifer". They broke up in 2004, with both blaming the media attention. Affleck also had a high-profile romance with actress Gwyneth Paltrow. Most recently, he has been romantically linked with Alias star Jennifer Garner, who costarred alongside him in Daredevil; perhaps due to the fact that Garner is somewhat less rich-and-famous than Lopez, attempts by the media to dub this pairing "Bennifer II" have, so far, been unsuccessful. Poker playingAffleck is also an avid poker player, regularly entering local events. He has been tutored by poker professionals Amir Vahedi and Annie Duke. He won the California State Poker Championship on June 20, 2004, taking home the first prize of $356,000, and qualifying him for the 2004 World Poker Tour final tournament.

During the first day of the Democratic Convention, Affleck was featured on Larry King Live with Tucker Carlson and Al Sharpton. Larry King asked Affleck if he would consider running for office, and Affleck admitted to contemplating the proposition.
