He solidified his reputation as a leading man through iconic roles, such as Tom Ripley in *The Talented Mr. Ripley*, Jason Bourne in the *Bourne* series, and Linus Caldwell in the *Ocean's* trilogy. His portrayal of an astronaut stranded on Mars in *The Martian* earned him a Golden Globe for Best Actor, and he has been part of various notable films, including *Saving Private Ryan*, *The Departed*, and *Ford v Ferrari*.
On the small screen, Damon played Scott Thorson in HBO's *Behind the Candelabra*, which garnered him an Emmy nomination. His guest appearances in *30 Rock* and hosting *Saturday Night Live* were also Emmy-nominated. Beyond acting, Damon has produced projects like *Project Greenlight* and *Manchester by the Sea*.
