6. The Comeback Kid
The media loves a tale of someone who has fallen off a horse and gets right back on it. Ben Affleck is a celebrity who went from J-Lo gossip rumors and Gigli to now being given a standing ovation by legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg. The mans reputation as an actor has gone through tough times. Yet, hes rebounded by directing three acclaimed films ; Gone Baby Gone, The Town and now Argo. Like Mickey Rourke and Robert Downey Jr. before him, its time for Affleck to ride through the Hollywood Hills as the star he should be. Remember that excited young guy jumping up and down when winning an Oscar for writing Good Will Hunting? Hes back.
