From Quiz Matt Damon Co-Stars

Answer: Tom Hanks

Tom Hanks is an American actor and filmmaker who has a large body of work to his name. He won an Oscar for his portrayal of Andy Beckett in "Philadelphia", another for playing Forrest Gump in the 1994 film of the same name. He has also portrayed Jim Lovell in the 1995 space movie "Apollo 13", Woody in the "Toy Story" series, and Carl Hanratty in the biopic "Catch Me if You Can". In "Saving Private Ryan", Tom Hanks takes on the character of Captain John Miller, an officer tasked with a seemingly senseless and quite difficult mission, to extract a private whose brothers have been killed in other theatres of action. Miller has the added challenge of trying to lead and motivate men when they don't want to do the mission. The soldiers in the movie resent Damon's character, and, to build up that resentment, director Spielberg actually made the rest of the cast go to boot camp to train for their roles, all except for Damon. He then would bring up that fact while filming, rubbing it in that Damon had an easier time preparing for the movie and creating actual resentment.

In the remake "Ocean's Eleven", Clooney plays Danny Ocean, a criminal with a keen mind and an agenda to not only get rich, but also get back the woman he loves. Matt Damon helps him out as Linus Caldwell, a skilled pickpocket, and together with a star-studded cast, they pull off the heist. The two would team up again for "Ocean's Twelve" and "Ocean's Thirteen", as well as the 2014 film "The Monuments Men", the aforementioned "Syriana", and when Clooney directed Damon in the 2017 film "Suburbicon".
