How Casey Affleck Teased Matt Damon on 'The Instigators' Set


Casey Affleck opened up to Us Weekly exclusively about working with his longtime friend Matt Damon on their new film ‘The Instigators’

In the Boston-set story — which hits the streaming service on Friday, August 9 — ex-con Cobby (Casey) and down-and-out dad Rory (Damon) are wary partners in crime, scheming to rob a corrupt politician. When Rory’s therapist ( Hong Chau) ends up as their semi-willing hostage, and a menacing cop with an agenda ( Ving Rhames) gets on their tail, the pair must figure out a way to outrun police, backward bureaucrats and a vengeful crime boss. Casey also marveled that his friend and costar is “really good at conserving his energy,” likening the Bourne Identity star’s work ethic to the famous 2017 boxing match between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather.
