Actor Ben Affleck is spearheading a new campaign in aid of paralysed war veterans.

The Pearl Harbor star has filmed a public service announcement (Psa) for the Paralyzed Veterans of America organisation, which provides support for members of the armed forces who suffer spinal cord injury or dysfunction.

Many actors have played the part of a U.S. serviceman in the movies, but for veterans such as James Crosby... his service and his sacrifice for our country are real.

Affleck appears alongside retired U.S. Marine James Crosby, who was paralysed after being struck by shrapnel during the war in Iraq.

The star says, "Many actors have played the part of a U.S. serviceman in the movies, but for veterans such as James Crosby... his service and his sacrifice for our country are real."
