Casey Affleck was featured in 4REAL Pawnee. An accomplished and striking performer, he established himself as a powerful leading man with singular performances in a handful of recent projects.
In the fall of 2007, Casey starred in the critically acclaimed Miramax film "Gone, Baby, Gone." Based on Dennis Lehane's novel of the same title, and adapted for the screen and featuring the directorial debut by Ben Affleck, the film is the story of two Boston detectives in search of a four year-old girl who has been kidnapped. The film also starred Ed Harris, Morgan Freeman and Michelle Monaghan and opened in October 2007.
Additionally, Casey was seen in the highly anticipated character drama "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford." Written and directed by Andrew Dominik ("Chopper"), the Warner Bros. film starred Casey as 'Ford' opposite Brad Pitt's 'Jesse James.' The story follows Ford's sycophantic obsession with "The Fastest Gun in the West" that quickly turns into growing resentment after he joins the legendary outlaw's gang, leading to his subsequent plan to murder James and claim his rightful glory. The film also starred Sam Rockwell and Sam Shepard and opened that fall.
For his role in “The Assassination of Jesse James” he received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture at the 65th Golden Globe Awards and an Oscar nomination for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role at the 80th Academy Awards.
An accomplished screenwriter, Casey recently penned the original screenplay for “Aardvark Art's Ark,” an animated family film that he will also Executive Produce for Warner Bros. The film tells the story of a family of animals who set sail on Noah's Ark and find wild adventures when the waters get dangerous.
