2006 has been a
very good year for Matt Damon. Damon just wrapped work on
Ocean's Thirteen with Hollywood's latest version of the Rat Pack, is busy filming the third
Bourne movie (
The Bourne Ultimatum), and stars in two of 2006's big budget films: Martin Scorsese's
The Departed and
The Good Shepherd directed by Robert De Niro. Damon and his wife Luciana Barroso also welcomed their first child together with the June birth of their daughter, Isabella.
In the dramatic film The Good Shepherd, Damon stars as Edward Wilson, a Yale student recruited to work for the OSS (the precursor to the CIA) during WWII. One of the first members of the CIA, Wilson's methods become the model for how all operatives do their jobs. Wilson's hard work and dedication earns him the respect of the agency and a reputation as one of the outfit's best operatives. But as Wilson works on securing his spot in CIA history, he's faced with the possibility of sacrificing everything for the job he loves.
The Good Shepherd reports to work on December 22, 2006.
