Casey Affleck is an American actor and director who has received numerous accolades throughout his career.

Affleck's breakthrough came in 2007, when he starred as the American outlaw Robert Ford in the Western drama The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, for which he received nominations for Best Supporting Actor at the Academy Awards, Actor Awards, and Golden Globe Awards. In the same year, he also had a leading role in his brother Ben Affleck's directorial debut Gone Baby Gone, that earned him a nomination for the Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Acting Ensemble.

Affleck received universal acclaim for his portrayal of Lee Chandler, a grief-stricken alcoholic loner, in Kenneth Lonergan's drama film Manchester by the Sea (2016). His performance won him the Academy Award for Best Actor, as well as the corresponding prize at the British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA), Critics' Choice Movie Awards, and Golden Globe Awards.
