August 28, 2008: "Ben Affleck Gives Pal Matt Damon Advice On Coping With His Newbown Daughter Via Text Message" Ben Affleck has been giving Matt Damon advice on coping with his newborn daughter Gia via text message. The actor admits he has been in contact with Matt and has also passed on some of his own tips on caring for children. Ben, who is expecting his second child with wife Jennifer Garner later this year, said: "I've kind of been texting Matt back and forth, and he's doing great and his wife Luciana is doing great." Matt is also "thrilled" about the new addition to his family, according to Ben. He added to People magazine: "Anybody who has a child is excited, I think, no matter what the gender is. They are thrilled. The thing that people really want, when you get down to it, is a healthy child." *** June 30, 2008: "Ben Affleck Says Married Life Is "Pretty Great"" Ben Affleck’s home life is "pretty great," according to the actor. In an interview with Access Hollywood's Billy Bush for "The Billy Bush Show," Affleck said life with Garner and the couple's two-year-old daughter Violet was going well. "Things are pretty great," Affleck said, when asked if he had any vacation plans on the horizon. "We’re very happy. Things couldn’t be better. We’re kind of taking it easy and just kind of enjoying a little downtime at home." *** June 25, 2008: "Ben Affleck takes Journey To Congo" “Nightline” will focus on the humanitarian crisis in the Congo with the help of an unusual correspondent - Ben Affleck. The 35-year-old actor took a “Nightline” crew on his recent fact-finding mission to Africa with the goal of spreading the word on a story that gets relatively little notice in the United States. His essay airs 11:35 p.m. Thursday on ABC. He’s been to the Congo three times in the past year. He said his motive was to learn about the war and hunger that have killed thousands of people per month in the past decade in hopes that the outside world would be moved to help, and his celebrity opened some doors. “It’s fairly clear that in the modern age that there is a currency to celebrity, or celebrity is a currency, really,” Affleck told The Associated Press on Wednesday. “I’ve discovered that you can spend it in a lot of ways, or you can squander it. You can be taxed, as well. I really started thinking long and hard about how to use that currency as long as I had it.” His representatives approached “Nightline” with the idea of reporting on his journey. Affleck said he was impressed by “Nightline” stories in 2005 where “Hotel Rwanda” actor Don Cheadle visited that country. “Nightline” executive producer James Goldston admitted to skepticism. ABC News took heat a decade ago for letting Leonardo DiCaprio interview President Clinton, and the idea of a concerned celebrity taking on a world problem has become a news staple. “I was quite persuaded by how candid he was about the cliche of it, or the potential cliche,” Goldston said. Affleck deals with that issue in the opening of his essay: “I want to try to bring people along to learn and if they might not tune into this unless there was some celebrity involved in it, either because they’re interested in the celebrity or because they want to see the celebrity kind of make a fool of himself, then so be it,” he says. He doesn’t act as a reporter, Goldston said. The idea was to present the story as a personal journey, following Affleck as he met with survivors of the conflict, relief officials and even some warlords. “Nightline” hasn’t done its own story on the Congo since 2002, although Cynthia McFadden recently took a trip to Africa to report on several issues there. Affleck said one “Nightline” piece isn’t likely to change much, but the goal is to spread the word and hope that people in the United States can identify with some people who are suffering. Perhaps then they could be moved to help, he said. Affleck hasn’t identified himself with any particular relief organization that is helping the Congo. He believes people will respond to this approach. “I don’t think people respond particularly well to being hectored, or being made to feel guilty, or being made to feel as though they’re kind of callow or insensitive for the life they’ve been leading up until then,” he said. *** March 17, 2008: "Aleeck's Fund Raiser For Obama" Mr & Mrs Affleck played good hosts for a fundraiser lastnight, in good regard for Barack Obama, their favoured choice as the next president. Sporting a gray suit and black All Star sneakers, Ben and his charming wife Jennifer Garner, took a stroll down the red carpet at Rumor, describing the event as, “their part for society.” “There are a lot of things (I like about Obama), but I won’t bore you with all of them,” Ben casually emoted. The Boston Herald reported on how Ben firmly believes that the senator from Illinois, Barack is undoubtedly the person for the job and refered to him as a “genuine, real force.” “ I’m an actor,” Affleck quipped with a grin. “I’m not going to create 10-point policy details of why.” The Smokin’ Aces star added, “I’m an actor, I’m not going to create 10-point policy details of why.” Ben first met Obama at the 2004 Democratic convention in Boston, and since then, he as been an avid supporter of the charismatic Democrat. Inspite of having the strong inclination toward Obama, Ben, who joked that he’s glad their relationship hasn’t gotten too close for comfort… “I think I’m just grateful he didn’t ask me to do a sexy YouTube video with him.” He clearly stated that it didn’t mean he was against Hilary. “To me, it’s about why I think Barack is the right guy,” he said, measuring his words. “It’s not about negative inferences.” *** Actor,Director,and Screen writer Ben Affleck picture(s)/pic(s), wallpaper and photo gallery.

Children: Violet Anne Affleck. --> NEW Ben Affleck pictures at the 2007 National Board Of Review Awards, Cipriani 42nd Street January 15,2008 <-- Ben Affleck biography (bio): Early life: Affleck was born Benjamin Geza Affleck in Berkeley, California to father Timothy Affleck, a social worker and drug rehab counselor, and mother Chris Boldt, a school teacher. The family moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts when Ben was very young. Affleck's ancestry is Irish and Scottish; his parents divorced in 1984. Affleck's younger brother is actor Casey Affleck. At the age of eight, Affleck met ten-year-old Matt Damon, who lived two blocks away. Through the encouragement of their parents, Affleck and Damon would later attend Cambridge Rindge and Latin School together, although they were in different year groups. Affleck grew up in the Cambridge, Massachusetts area and attended Occidental College in Los Angeles, as well as the University of Vermont. Career: Affleck worked as a child actor, appearing on the PBS kids' series The Voyage of the Mimi and in several made-for-television movies. Throughout the 1990s, Affleck had a role in LifeStories: Families in Crisis as a steroid abusing athlete as well as several notable films, including 1992's School Ties (with Matt Damon and Brendan Fraser), 1993's Dazed and Confused, 1995's Mallrats and 1997's Chasing Amy; Mallrats and Amy began his collaboration with writer/director Kevin Smith. Affleck has appeared in every film Smith has made with the exception of Smith's first film, Clerks. Affleck had a one line speaking role as a high school basketball player in the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie. Affleck and fellow Boston Red Sox fanatic Matt Damon had roles as extras in the movie Field of Dreams when Kevin Costner and James Earl Jones go to Fenway Park. Affleck came to national attention working with his best friend Damon in Good Will Hunting (1997). They shared credit and both received the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. Along with Damon and producers Chris Moore and Sean Bailey, Affleck founded the production company LivePlanet, through which the four created the documentary series Project Greenlight, as well as the failed mystery-hybrid series Push, Nevada amongst other projects. Project Greenlight was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Reality Program in 2002, 2004 and 2005. Following Good Will Hunting, Affleck had starring roles in many successful movies, including Armageddon, Forces of Nature, Pearl Harbor, Changing Lanes, The Sum of All Fears and Daredevil, establishing himself as a Hollywood leading man throughout the early 2000s. However, after the release of several critically panned, box office flops, including Gigli (2003) and Surviving Christmas (2004), Affleck's career waned considerably. He did not appear in any films until 2006 when he appeared in Clerks II. In addition to being a fan of the Daredevil comics (Frank Miller's run specifically), he wrote the introduction to the trade paperback Daredevil: Guardian Devil which reprints Daredevil (Volume 2) #1–8 (written by Kevin Smith). Affleck made what can be considered a comeback with the September 2006 release of the critically acclaimed George Reeves biopic-noir Hollywoodland, directed by HBO TV-series veteran Allen Coulter. His performance was impressive enough that he was awarded the Volpi Cup for Best Actor at the Venice Film Festival and has also won the Best Supporting Actor award at the Hollywood Film Festival[3] and was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture. Affleck recently completed directing his third film, Gone, Baby, Gone, for which he also co-wrote the screenplay, about two Boston area detectives investigating a little girl's kidnapping and how it affects their lives. Based on the book by Dennis Lehane, it is in post-production and scheduled for a 2007 release starring Affleck's brother, Casey. Personal life: Affleck had a high-profile romance with actress Gwyneth Paltrow in 1998, following her breakup with actor Brad Pitt. In 2002, he began dating actress/singer Jennifer Lopez, whom he had met prior to filming Gigli. The same year, his engagement to Lopez was announced, and the relationship between the two received a lot of attention by the entertainment media who dubbed the couple "Bennifer". The couple broke up in 2004, both blaming the media attention - including an alleged incident in which Affleck partied with Christian Slater and some lap dancers in Canada.This negative publicity and media attention was also brought along to the 2004 Jersey Girl, which also was a box office failure. Affleck subsequently dated his Daredevil co-star, actress Jennifer Garner, and the two were engaged after nine months of seeing each other. In May 2005, it was announced that Garner was pregnant and the couple were married on June 29, 2005 on the Caribbean islands of Turks and Caicos. Garner gave birth to a daughter, Violet Anne Affleck, on December 1, 2005 in Los Angeles, California. The couple currently lives in Santa Monica, California and Cambridge, Massachusetts. Affleck has a holiday home in Savannah, Georgia. Affleck was treated for a migraine at Mt. Auburn Hospital in Cambridge, Massachusetts on May 30, 2006. The family were in Cambridge for the summer while Affleck was directing Gone, Baby, Gone. Affleck is an avid poker player, regularly entering local events. He has been tutored by poker professionals Amir Vahedi and Annie Duke, and won the California State Poker Championship on June 20, 2004, taking home the first prize of $356,000, which qualified him for the 2004 World Poker Tour final tournament. Affleck is a Boston Red Sox fan. Affleck supports a non-profit organization called the A-T Childrens Project. He started supporting the A-TCP after meeting Joe Kindregan when filming Forces of Nature. Kindregan, who was then 9 years old, has a rare disease called ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T). Affleck has attended benefits and spoken to Congress to advocate for the A-T Childrens Project. The disease, described as like having muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, immune deficiency and cancer all at once, is progressive; children with A-T usually do not live beyond their late teens. Political activism: In the final weeks of the 2000 Presidential campaign, Affleck promoted the Democratic ticket, supporting Al Gore and repeatedly delivering a get-out-the-vote plea: "It's very important to vote. The president will appoint three or four Supreme Court justices." During the final week of the race, Affleck spoke on behalf of Gore in California, Florida, and Pennsylvania. During a stop in Pittsburgh, the star—along with Helen Hunt, Martin Sheen, Rob Reiner and other actors—spent an hour at a phone bank calling registered Democrats. "People in my generation have a low voter turnout. One of the reasons that I'm here is to demonstrate that no matter who you are going to vote for... I think it's important to get involved and get out and vote," Affleck told reporters. "But I'm going to tell people to vote for Gore." On October 28, 2000, Affleck flew with Hillary Clinton, who was running for a Senate seat, to Ithaca, New York, where he introduced her at a Cornell University rally. Affleck told the college crowd that Clinton had been advocating for women and working families since "Rick Lazio was running around the frat house in his underwear". Lazio, then a Long Island congressman, was Clinton's Republican opponent. On November 6, 2000, the final day of the campaign, Affleck was one of several high-profile celebrities summoned to Miami Beach by Miramax Films boss Harvey Weinstein for a late-night Gore rally, just hours before polls opened nationwide. The Gore campaign's last event, a final effort to energize South Beach voters, did not end until about 1:00AM, but Affleck flew back to New York that morning and made a surprise live appearance on The Rosie O'Donnell Show. It was 10:15AM when he made his final public pitch from a Rockefeller Center studio, noting that he was "a little bit tired... I've been out getting involved, doing stuff and trying to get people to vote. And that's why I came by here". Also, "Today is the get-out-the-vote day and...I think this is the time to get involved, especially the young folks who are here ... I'm about to go vote," He then said, "I am personally gonna vote for Al Gore". As votes were tallied that night, Affleck told Salon.com's Amy Reiter, "I'm nervous this evening, but one of the things that's exciting to me is the amount of people who voted. No matter who wins, I think it's a healthy thing for our country that so many voters have come out and participated in the process. Either way, I think the most important number will be the turnout". However, as The Smoking Gun later discovered, Affleck himself did not vote that day. In the May 2001 issue of GQ, Affleck said, "My fantasy is that someday I'm independently wealthy enough that I'm not beholden to anybody, so I can run for Congress on the grounds that everyday people — be they singers or poets or bankers or lawyers or teachers — should be in government". In the March 2003 issue of Vanity Fair, Affleck again proposes the possibility of a future run for Congress. "I think there's a real nobility to public service... It would be fun to run on a platform I really believed in, without being beholden to the win-at-all-costs mentality". In 2004, Affleck actively campaigned for Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry. 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. Specific attention focused on whether he would run for Kerry's open Senate seat (as Affleck was from Massachusetts). He noted that the line between politics and entertainment is becoming increasingly blurred, as political figures Ronald Reagan, and Arnold Schwarzenegger, both came from the entertainment business, although both were members of the Republican Party. He appeared in a print ad with his openly gay cousin, Jason, in support of Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays. He once said, "Everyone has the capacity for being bisexual." He has, however, never suggested that he himself is bisexual. As a Democrat, Affleck has spoken diplomatically of George W. Bush as a person in an interview with Bill O'Reilly (July 27, 2004), saying, "I had the pleasure of and the honor of meeting the President of the United States at the Daytona 500. I found him to be a collegial, affable, kind guy." He went on to say Bush "is a patriot and he’s a man who believes in the country. He's trying to further an agenda he believes in. I happen to disagree with most of his policies, but I respect the man." Affleck in popular culture: * Affleck was mentioned in "I'll Sue Ya" in "Weird Al" Yankovic's CD, Straight Outta Lynwood: "I'll sue Ben Affleck...... aw, do I even need a reason?" * On Will & Grace, after the character Jack has his voice dubbed over in his most recent TV series, he explains to Josh Lucas that Lucas is Matt Damon and that he's "Ben Affleck in Gigli...or Paycheck...or Bounce...or Jersey Girl...or Surviving Christmas." This is a joke on how many films he has had bomb. * Affleck appears to embrace some of his failed movies; in Kevin Smith's Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Affleck is seen alongside Damon on the fictitious set of Good Will Hunting 2: Hunting Season, where Damon mocks the failure of Affleck's Reindeer Games while the two discuss their movie choices. * Affleck has been prominent in two South Park episodes. In "How to Eat with Your Butt", Affleck was found to be the missing child of a couple suffering from a facial deformity in which their heads were encased in buttocks. In "Fat Butt and Pancake Head", Affleck was portrayed as Jennifer Lopez's boyfriend, until he left her for Eric Cartman's hand puppet, also named Jennifer Lopez. The puppet pronounces her name as "Hennifer Lopez," because of her strong, forced Puerto Rican accent. Affleck is a favorite target of Mike Nelson's RiffTrax. * Affleck has also been parodied on Family Guy, in a flashback scene in which he was lying on the couch while Damon wrote Good Will Hunting, with the joke that he contributed nothing to the script, and added his name only after adding a word to a sentence. * Affleck is mentioned in The Simpsons episode "See Homer Run", saying that he ran most of Homer's political campaign. * In the movie Team America, Affleck is mentioned in a song when the vocalist makes a joke about how he needs his girlfriend more than Affleck needs acting school. * In the video game Tony Hawk's American Wasteland, one of the first tasks the player must complete in Hollywood is performing a kickflip over a "lame" actor named Ben Whofleck. This is later confirmed as a takeoff on Affleck, as an NPC comments that Whofleck "sucked in Pearl Harbour". Notable roles: -Shannon Hamilton in Mallrats. -Holden McNeil in Chasing Amy/Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. -Chuckie Sullivan in Good Will Hunting. -A.J. Frost in Armageddon. -Matt Murdock in Daredevil. -George Reeves in Hollywoodland.
