Affleck, younger brother to actor Ben Affleck, told People Daily that being a dad to his two young sons is his most rewarding role to date. Affleck and wife Summer Phoenix, have a 3-year-old son named Indiana, and their second son was born in January. His name has not been released.

The actor, 32, said parenthood has transformed his life, although said it was complex to describe being a parent.

Affleck received his Oscar nomination for his role in "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford." He also starred in "Gone Baby Gone."
