Ben Affleck seems to be that kind of person who thinks things won’t get done right unless he does it himself. He’s an accomplished actor and a more than adequate director, but you have to wonder what made him give himself the starring role in the latest movie he’s directing. The movie “Argo” is being produced by George Clooney, Grant Heslov and David Klawans. It’s about an Iran hostage drama. This is right up Affleck’s alley as he majored in Middle Easter Affairs in college. Affleck has directed himself in the past in “The Town”. Since the movie was both a critical and commercial success, it does justify Affleck’s current choice.
