Every Ben Affleck Cameo In A Kevin Smith Movie
Here's every cameo Ben Affleck has made in Kevin Smith's View Askewniverse. Before Ben Affleck and best bud Matt Damon broke through with Good Will Hunting, the pair were struggling actors trying to find their way in the business.

While Mallrats wasn't a hit — though it later became a cult favorite — and Affleck and Smith became regular collaborators.
Affleck fronted Smith's rom-com Chasing Amy in 1997, while he and Damon both headlined Smith's controversial religious satire Dogma.

To the delight of their fans, the duo has since rekindled their friendship, after Smith reached out to his old friend about appearing in 2019's Jay And Silent Bob Reboot (which has MANY cameos).
