The part of Aaron Stampler was widely seen as a career making role and was pursued by many young actors. Matt Damon has said that he chased the role desperately, having previously missed out on a part in Dead Poet's Society (1989). After being passed over yet again, he and Ben Affleck decided that the chances of another great part coming along, going through the ranks of known actors before being 'tossed to the wolves to fight over', were so low that they had to do something about it. The result was the script for Good Will Hunting (1997) which helped launch both their careers.
