The Many Cameos of Matt Damon
Welcome everyone to the Pit Crew’s quiz of the month. This month we focus on the many faces, or in this case cameos, of Matt Damon. A prolific A-List actor, Matt Damon boasts Oscars and Golden Globes among his accolades. In 2017, he won an All Def Award for Most Out of Place White Person in a movie for his portrayal of William in the Great Wall. So, he has the ability to take a ‘major role or nothing approach in Hollywood.” However, he doesn’t flex that.
Damon is regarded by many as one of the most down to earth actors in Hollywood. Watch him in Hot Wings or any talk show and he is constantly dropping hilarious stories about his vast experience in Hollywood. You will also learn of his many close friends and how Damon adds flavor to their movies by making many cameos that sometimes last less than five minutes.
So, how well do you know Matt Damon’s less known roles. We’ll provide a description of his character with a hint about the movie and you have to name that movie. Ready? (You have three and a half minutes so you either know it or you have lightening fast Googling skills.)
