Like Ben Affleck, Tom McCarthy began his career as an actor, and, in 2003, began writing and directing his own films. However, unlike Mr. Affleck, Mr.  McCarthy is a good actor and virtually unidentifiable to even seasoned moviegoers. He was in “Flags of Our Fathers,” “Syriana,” “Michael Clayton,” the “Meet the Parents” franchise, and the landmark HBO series, “The Wire.”
