Matthew Paige Damon, born on October 8, 1970, is a multifaceted American actor, producer, and screenwriter. In 2007, he was highlighted as one of Forbes' most bankable stars, and by 2010, he emerged as one of the highest-grossing actors in cinematic history. His accolades include an Academy Award and two Golden Globe Awards, along with nominations for three BAFTA Awards and seven Primetime Emmy Awards. Damon's journey in acting began with *Mystic Pizza* in 1988, but it was in 1997 that he truly came into the limelight. Collaborating with Ben Affleck on *Good Will Hunting*, they not only starred in the film but also won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay as well as the Golden Globe for Best Screenplay. He solidified his reputation as a leading man through iconic roles, such as Tom Ripley in *The Talented Mr. Ripley*, Jason Bourne in the *Bourne* series, and Linus Caldwell in the *Ocean's* trilogy. His portrayal of an astronaut stranded on Mars in *The Martian* earned him a Golden Globe for Best Actor, and he has been part of various notable films, including *Saving Private Ryan*, *The Departed*, and *Ford v Ferrari*. On the small screen, Damon played Scott Thorson in HBO's *Behind the Candelabra*, which garnered him an Emmy nomination. His guest appearances in *30 Rock* and hosting *Saturday Night Live* were also Emmy-nominated. Beyond acting, Damon has produced projects like *Project Greenlight* and *Manchester by the Sea*. He co-founded two production companies with Ben Affleck and has lent his voice to several animated and documentary projects. His philanthropic efforts span multiple organizations, including the One Campaign and Water.org.
