From love interest in a low-key indie hit, Ben Affleck has blazed into the limelight as a renaissance man
Article Abstract:
Becoming famous is not necessarily always a good thing, according to actor Ben Affleck. He feels that fame can have a negative impact on an actor's relationships and life. He has shown that he has considerable talent as an actor, and has also gained recognition for his screenwriting work with Matt Damon for 'Good Will Hunting,' which has nine nominations for the 1998 Oscar awards. Affleck welcomed the chance to appear with Damon in this film, and feels that they had a very good working relationship because they have known each other since childhood.

Nobody's fool
Article Abstract:
Actor Rupert Graves is keen not to reveal too many details about his private life, as he likes the idea of being able to remain anonymous. He did not have a traditional drama school education, and therefore found it very hard to adjust to the theatrical world when he won a role in 'A Room with a View' at the age of only 22. He has come to terms with the fact that he did not go to drama school, but still feels that he missed out on a lot of education.

The Prince of Order
Article Abstract:
Older actors have a duty to try to work with aspiring young actors, according to Christopher Lee. He has been impressed by the young actors with whom he worked on a six-part adaptation for the BBC of Sir Walter Scott's 'Ivanhoe.' He greatly enjoyed playing Beaumanoir, who, like many characters played previously by Lee, can be very frightening. He appeared in many Hammer Horror films, but is unwilling to be remembered only for these roles.
