[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I loved him in Good Will Hunting[/quote]

Good Will Hunting was based on Ben’s dad who actually was a janitor at Harvard in real life as well as a playwright /wannabe actor who wasn’t able to make it due to…

Alcohol and gambling problems.

It’s obvious Ben really was affected by his dads story and he’s inherited his father’s similar issues while completing  his dads dream of being a famous actor and writer [/quote]

There are a lot real life inspiration in Good Will Hunting and not just the janitor at Harvard link. I think Matt also mentioned some of inspirations from his parents.
Also the two fights (the one in the basketball court and the other in the bar) were probably based on their real life competition encounter in Hollywood in the early 90s, not verbatim, but rewritten into the film's story line.
Incidentally Affleck's father was actually meant to do great things, as he very likely was the only protege to American writer William Faulkner who won a Nobel Prize for Literature in the 1950s. Shame he squandered all that away by drinking.[/quote]
