Ben Affleck bit young....


Don't you think Ben Affleck was a bit young to play the role of a sheriff and ex FBI agent? He must of only been about 26 at the time.

reply

Definitely. We can probably assume the guy he was playing was supposed to be older though.

Also, the character in the book was 39, but obviously they did not go with that approach in the movie.

Yeah! that always bother me!

How old an FBI agent was Keanu Reeves in "Point Break"?

Ben Affleck has caused me pain before. Sometimes serious pain. But this was biblical torture.


My "#3" key is broken so I'm putting one here so i can cut & paste with it.

I thought the same thing. It's funny that rose and Ben were just in a movie prior to this one where they were the same age yet he's supposed to be a lot older in phantoms. Whatever Hollywood is weird.

26? He looks about 12 in this movie. That first shot of him is priceless, he's like a boy playing dress-up.
