5. Morgan O'Mally - Good Will Hunting (1997)

One of Affleck€™s first big roles was as one of Will Hunting€™s childhood buddies in Good Will Hunting - no doubt thanks to his own brother and their real-life childhood friend writing and starring in the film. Rewatching it always provides enjoyment, if only to see Casey€™s hilarious turn as Morgan, the old friend that no one wants to hang out with anymore but you just don€™t have the heart to cut off entirely. By turns infuriating and disgusting - let€™s not forget that he masturbated into Chuckie€™s (Ben Affleck) favourite baseball mitt - Casey actually proved that he had comedic chops first here, with the dramatic personae coming later.
