How good of am actor is Casey affleck

He's always been underrated.


I think Ben is a much better director and writer than actor. I'd say Casey might have a slight edge on acting, especially after Manchester by the Sea.

I think he's pretty major. He dominated in 2007 w Gone Baby Gone and The Assasination of Jesse James. His work in last year's Manchester-by-the-sea is, ah, pretty friggin big league. While he doesn't have his brother's leading man good looks and concomitant gravitas, he has far superior acting chops imo. I like him a lot.

i think he's a damn fine actor, and more importantly he chooses interesting roles which go a long way in forming my opinion of him. Some of my favorites performances from him:

The Assassination of Jesse James....
Gone Baby Gone
The Killer Inside Me
Ain't Them Bodies Saints
Out of the Furnace
Manchester by the Sea

BTW, The Killer Inside Me is a brutal brutal movie, and he was genuinely unnerving in it. I highly recommend it, but there are some disturbing scenes of violence, one in particular.

Man, Joaquin killed it in To Die For, when he breaks down during that interrogation scene.

I'd like him more if he wasn't such a piece of shite that sexually assaults women.

It's not a secret. Hes been accused by multiple women, which would make me skeptical, but I work in film, and had a couple of ladies I know say he was very creepy to them while they worked together, so I'm not as skeptical anymore.

Article about it

Well, that's just terrible if true. I didn't know about those allegations.
