He essentially plays different versions of Matt Damon in every movie. Now, compare him to someone like Gary Oldman, for example….I know this is an unpopular opinion but I’ve always thought Matt Damon sucks as an actor despite being a Good Will Hunting fan.
Watch Ripley on Netflix and you’ll see Andrew Scott crush this role while Matt Damon ruined it (despite Jude Law’s epic performance), at which time I realized how limited he is.
Absolutely bodied all three of those roles. That’s not even including his performance as Churchill or Dracula. Whenever I watch something with him in it, my brain isn’t telling me, “that’s Gary Oldman playing dress-up.” My brain does that with whatever Matt Damon is in (aside from, maybe, Euro Trip).
