Young Ben Affleck and Matt Damon in Jay and Silent Bob Strike back, looking befuddled.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Kevin Costner recalls meeting Matt Damon and Ben Affleck on the set of Field of Dreams. Before they were the A-list superstars they are today, Affleck and Damon were young people who played unnamed extras in a Fenway park scene in Field of Dreams.
They were sitting in the stands, like college guys, and they came up, and they both leaned in at the same time, leaned back at the same time, looked at each other at the same time as we talked. And they had this big enthusiasm. They were on fire. I do remember them, absolutely. I remember it well. I literally had an Untouchables poster on my wall. He came out and hung around with the extras between setups. I asked him what he was doing, and he said, ‘Shooting the s---’ and I laughed like a 12-year-old girl. It was a big deal for us, because he had the exact career that we wanted. He was very nice to us.
Damon and Affleck’s youthful friendship soon became an unstoppable creative partnership that would help define both of their careers. Eight years after they were Field of Dreams extras, the young actors would star together in Good Will Hunting, a film that they co-wrote. Good Will Hunting earned the duo an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, and is widely recognized as one of the most iconic films of the late 1990s.
