screenwriter. Born October 8, 1970, in Boston, Massachusetts. After his
parents divorced when he was a young child, Damon moved with his mother
and older brother from the tony Boston suburb of Newton to a more modest
neighborhood in Cambridge. He appeared in several local theater
productions as an adolescent and worked as an extra on movies filming in
or around Boston alongside his childhood friend and fellow aspiring actor
Ben Affleck. At 16, Damon auditioned for a New York casting agent and
later landed his first film role, a one-line appearance in 1988’s Mystic
Pizza, starring Julia Roberts. |
