Although he is now regarded as one of the best, and certainly among the most popular, actors of his generation, Matt Damon did not have a traditional route to stardom. Although Damon was able to demonstrate his capabilities thanks to a series of early roles in the 1990s, including School Ties, Courage Under Fire, and Glory Daze, it was his breakout role in the inspirational drama Good Will Hunting that established him as the voice of a generation. The performance showed that Damon had wisdom and maturity beyond his years, and earned widespread acclaim and major awards nominations. However, Good Will Hunting exists in the way that it does because Damon lost out on the opportunity to play a teenage murder suspect in the 1996 thriller Primal Fear.
