Birthplace: Falmouth, Massachusetts, USA
The younger brother of actor Ben Affleck,
Casey Affleck spent the last few years of the 1990s working his way out
of his brother's muscular shadow. The younger Affleck, who remarkably
bears almost no resemblance to his older brother, was born August 12,
1975, in Falmouth, MA. He made his television debut in the 1987 American
Playhouse special Lemon Sky and three years later played the young Robert
Kennedy in the TV miniseries The Kennedys of Massachusetts.
The young actor's film debut came in 1995, with
Gus Van Sant's To Die For, in which he had a supporting role as one of
Joaquin Phoenix's slacker friends. The next year, he appeared in the largely
unseen Race the Sun, and in 1997 benefited from the Power of Ben with
roles in two of his brother's films. In the first, Chasing Amy, Affleck
was little more than a blip on the screen, but in the second, Van Sant's
Good Will Hunting, he had a decidedly more substantial part as one of
Matt Damon's South Boston homeboys. Following the astounding, Oscar-winning
success of Hunting, Affleck landed substantial roles in two films with
casts featuring Who's Who lineups of Hollywood's Young and Hot: Desert
Blue (1998), in which he starred with Christina Ricci, Kate Hudson, and
Brendan Sexton Jr.; and 200 Cigarettes (1999), in which he appeared as
a soft-hearted punk alongside Desert Blue co-stars Ricci and Hudson, along
with Paul Rudd, Courtney Love, Janeane Garofalo, and brother Ben. Although
the film basically flopped, it did little to hurt the actor's career and
the same year he attained added credibility with an unbilled appearance
in the summer smash American Pie. The next few years found the younger
Affleck in some notable more noticeable roles with his work in Hamlet,
Committed, and Drowning Mona (all 2000). In 2001 he would get his largest
billing yet, as well as his induction into the teen horror craze, with
Soul Survivors. ~ Rebecca Flint, All Movie Guide
