Who's The Bigger Star? Part 3

Here is a fun post where a compare two actors/actresses, sports stars, TV personalities, etc against each other and determine who is the bigger star.  Let's see who wins this time:

Matt Damon v. Ben Affleck

Matt Damon

• Biggest Role:  Jason Bourne.
• My Favorite Role:  It has to be his cameo in Eurotrip
• Top Earning Movie:  The Bourne Ultimatum ($227.5 million)
• Biggest Flop:  Definitely Stuck on You.
• Awards:  5 Golden Globe Nominations (1 Wins), 3 Oscar Nominations (1 Win)
• Career:  Matt had a couple of little roles before playing the title character in Good Will Hunting and winning an Oscar with Affleck for writing that movie.  Since then he has had a pretty incredible career playing Private Ryan, Mike from Rounders, one of Ocean's 11, and finally striking it big with Jason Bourne.  He's not afraid to take cameos like Eurotrip or his awesome part on 30 Rock.  Also, he once gained a lot of weight for his role in The Informant and has gone on to do other acclaimed movies like The Departed.  Not too shabby.

Ben Affleck

• Biggest Role:  Ummm.....I guess it's Argo.
• My Favorite Role:  Honestly, I don't know, so I'm going with his role in Dazed and Confused.
• Top Earning Movie:  Armageddon ($201.6 million)
• Biggest Flop:  Tough call considering some of the garbage he has done, but I'll go with Gigli.
• Awards:  4 Golden Globe Nominations (3 Wins), 2 Oscar Nominations (2 Wins)
• Career:  Ben's career has been really weird.  After Good Will Hunting, he got a big part in Armageddon and it looked like he was going to be the next big thing in Hollywood.  But then he kept making terrible movie decisions like Reindeer Games, Daredevil, and finally Gigli.  After his fall from grace (and his terrible choice in Jennifer Lopez), he kind of disappeared for a few years until he got behind the camera and remade his career as a director capping it off with a Best Picture win last year with Argo.  Today, he is hot again and even won the part of Batman in the upcoming Superman sequel.  Some people hated that he got cast as the Caped Crusader, but I disagree.  Affleck had some really low lows, but equally high highs so it's hard to figure out what to make of his career.

These two started their careers together and it was only fitting that they went head to head in this post.  You would think that Matt Damon would run away with this thing, but Affleck's recent years have really made this decision a little harder.  However, in the end, I just can't pick the guy who thought marrying Jennifer Lopez was a good idea and Damon won, but not as easily as I thought it would be.

"Yup, this is my favorite Matt Damon character."
