Ben Affleck proved his flare for direction with Argo, winning the Best Picture award despite doubtful critics. The actor, who is known for his role as Bruce Wayne a.k.a Batman faced failures at the box office after his success with Good Will Hunting. A series of flops led him to get behind the camera and Affleck proved himself to be multitalented. His directorial debut was a detective drama named Gone Baby Gone.
