Children do not always follow in the footsteps of their parents, and the Affleck family did not become an exception. Sons of a physician and a teacher from Massachusetts chose a different path - Ben Affleck and Casey Affleck decided to become actors. Ben first appeared on the set at the age of twelve, his brother, who is three years younger, received the first role in 20 years. Today the brothers are engaged in filming in films, directing, and the elder continues, moreover, to write scripts.

In the footsteps of his brother
Fame for Ben Affleke did not come immediately. Shooting in the series of questionable quality to the success of it did not. However, work on these second-class roles gave Ben a real friend - Matt Damon. It was in his company that the first script for the film was written. His friends sold him for a long time, but, as it turned out, not in vain. The script sold and became for Ben Affleck the first step to fame.
Casey, Ben Affleck's brother, born in Falmouth in 1975, entered the world of big cinema before his older brother. Already at the age of twenty, he starred in the movie "Die in the Name." Working on the same set with the magnificent Nicole Kidman just added confidence to Casey Affleke that he chose the profession correctly. Directors immediately drew attention to the young man, whose appearance was ideally matched with the role of romance guys, so the proposals did not take long to wait. Each year, Casey Affleck is removed in two or three scenes, and none of them was recognized by critics as a failure.
Certainly, at the dawn of his career, actor Casey Affleck has heard about himself unflattering statements that he owes his success to his elder brother and to acquaintances with the world's powerful personalities. However, he managed to prove his professional credibility. The proof is the nomination for "Oscar" in 2008 for the role of the second plan.
