Ben Affleck
Today, we know Ben Affleck as Batman, but it was in 1992 where he came to prominence. Taking up the role of Chuckie Sullivan in Good Will Hunting, a film that he co-wrote with dear friend Matt Damon, he would receive countless nominations and take home several trophies and plaques.
Legend has it that Matt Damon began writing the script in 1992 while attending Harvard University. The script was 40 pages long but attracted enough attention from Hollywood studios to front the bill. And in the end, it paid off handsomely for the writers, the actors, and the studio. Not a bad start for Batman!
