Affleck-Boldt was born in Falmouth, Massachusetts, on August 12, 1975, to Christopher Anne “Chris” Boldt and Timothy Byers Affleck. Affleck’s ancestors are Scottish, Irish, German, English, and Swiss. Heinrich Boldt, his maternal great-great-grandfather, moved from Prussia in the late 1840s. Affleck’s mother was an elementary school teacher, while his father worked at Harvard University on the side as an auto mechanic, carpenter, bookie, electrician, bartender, and janitor. He worked as a stage manager, director, writer, and performer with the Theater Company of Boston in the mid-1960s.
Affleck’s father was a “disaster of a drinker” when he was growing up. During role play exercises in Alateen sessions, he began acting by reenacting what was going on at home. After his parents split when he was nine, Affleck and his elder brother, Ben, moved home with their mother and paid weekly visits to their father. Affleck learnt Spanish while traveling across Mexico with his mother and sibling for a year. Affleck’s father relocated to Indio, California, when he was fourteen, to attend a recovery clinic and ultimately worked as an addiction counselor.

Casey Affleck Oppenheimer
He appeared as Boris Pash, a U.S. Army military intelligence officer and commander of the Alsos Mission in the 2023 epic biographical thriller film Oppenheimer. While studying under experimental physicist Patrick Blackett in 1926, J. Robert Oppenheimer, a 22-year-old PhD student, battles with anxiety and homesickness.
He enrolls at Göttingen to study theoretical physics, where he meets fellow physicists Isidor Isaac Rabi and Werner Heisenberg. Oppenheimer intends to broaden quantum physics research in the United States and will begin teaching at the University of California, Berkeley, and the California Institute of Technology. Nuclear fission is discovered in 1938, and Oppenheimer understands it has the potential to be weaponized. In 1942, he oversees the Manhattan Project, which is motivated by the Nazis’ nuclear weapons program, to produce an atomic bomb.
Oppenheimer’s attitude on nuclear weapons development is controversial, and AEC Chairman Lewis Strauss criticizes him for his public humiliation and unwillingness to engage with the Soviet Union. Strauss organizes a private meeting in 1954 to withdraw Oppenheimer’s Q clearance, harming his public image and diminishing his influence on nuclear strategy. President Lyndon B. Johnson bestows the Enrico Fermi Award to Oppenheimer in 1963.
Casey Affleck The Old Man & the Gun
He appeared as Detective John Hunt in the 2018 American biographical crime film The Old Man & the Gun. Forrest Tucker, a career criminal who has been wanted for two years after escaping from San Quentin State Prison in 1979, robs a bank and falls in love with a lady named Jewel. They spend time together at Jewel’s property, where Forrest intends to repay her mortgage. The bank, however, demands Jewel’s signature on some forms, which annoys Forrest.
Dallas Police Detective John Hunt prepares police drawings while Forrest commits repeated heists without pulling his gun. Dorothy, Forrest’s daughter, comes forward, and the FBI takes up the case. According to John, who is no longer on the case, police accounts of Forrest firing during a standoff are untrue. Forrest eludes the cops and rides one of Jewel’s horses to her property. When police arrive on his property, he surrenders. When Jewel pays him a visit in jail, Forrest provides her a record of his sixteen prior escapes and cautions her not to attempt another breakout.
