Early Life
Casey Affleck was born on 12 August 1975, in Falmouth, Massachusetts, to Christopher Anne Boldt, a Radcliffe and Harvard-educated elementary school teacher, and Timothy Byers Affleck, an auto mechanic, bookie, carpenter, electrician, janitor at Harvard University, and bartender.
Affleck worked as a stage manager, director, writer, and performer for the Theater Company of Boston in the mid-1960s. Growing up, his father was an alcoholic and he began acting by reenacting his happenings at home during role-play exercises at Alateen meetings.
Affleck and his older brother, Ben, lived with their mother and made weekly trips to see their father after his parents divorced when he was nine years old. On turning 10, traveled throughout Mexico with his mother and brother and learned Spanish.
At the age of 14, his father relocated to Indio, California, to a rehab center. He later started working as an addiction counselor there. When he saw his father again while visiting California as a teenager, Affleck claimed that he was completely a different man.
High School Life
Affleck and his brother were exposed to people who worked in the arts while growing up in a politically involved, liberal family in Central Square, Cambridge. Their mother frequently took them to the theatre, and they were encouraged to make their own home movies.
Because of their mother’s connection with a local casting director, the brothers occasionally appeared in local weather ads and served as extras in films. While attending Cambridge Rindge and Latin School, Affleck participated in a number of high school theatre plays as an actor.
College Life
Affleck moved to Los Angeles after finishing high school to pursue a career in acting, where he lived with his brother and their childhood friend Matt Damon. For some time, he struggled and worked odd jobs in restaurants.
Affleck eventually starred in ‘To Die For,’ which was a success, but the failure of ‘Race the Sun’ left him worried about his future. He became dissatisfied with the lack of chances in the film industry and enrolled at George Washington University to study politics.
During his college years, Affleck was also involved in theatre productions and student films. But he never graduated from the university since his desire to act stopped him from concentrating on his studies. He eventually determined to pursue his career in acting.
