His portrayal of an astronaut stranded on Mars in *The Martian* earned him a Golden Globe for Best Actor, and he has been part of various notable films, including *Saving Private Ryan*, *The Departed*, and *Ford v Ferrari*. On the small screen, Damon played Scott Thorson in HBO's *Behind the Candelabra*, which garnered him an Emmy nomination. His guest appearances in *30 Rock* and hosting *Saturday Night Live* were also Emmy-nominated. Beyond acting, Damon has produced projects like *Project Greenlight* and *Manchester by the Sea*. He co-founded two production companies with Ben Affleck and has lent his voice to several animated and documentary projects. His philanthropic efforts span multiple organizations, including the One Campaign and Water.org.
After he had Spectre's leader Ernst Stavro Blofeld arrested, James Bond left active service, and a new agent 007, Nomi, replaced him. Just as he was trying to build a happy new life with his newfound love Madeleine Swann, Spectre agents attack them in Italy and they end up separated. Five years later, Bond's CIA friend Felix Leiter enlists his help in the search for a missing Russian scientist. When it becomes apparent that the scientist was working on a deadly bio-technological weapon that has been stolen by Spectre then hijacked by another criminal group (and, worse, that said weapon was developed under the supervision of the chief of MI6, M himself), Bond must confront a threat the likes of which the world has never seen before, and it has connections to Madeleine's own past.
