The pair would act together in several high school plays and auditioned for acting work. Damon was accepted to Harvard and attended from 1988 to 1992 but did not graduate, deciding to leave to Hollywood before finishing in the hopes of making it big.

The movie was a commercial box office smash and earned Damon an Oscar for screenplay and another nomination for best actor.
