Matt Damon claims his role in 'The Informant' is one of the best he has ever been offered.

The actor - who plays Mark Whitacre in Steven Soderbergh's new comedy - was first approached about the part eight years ago and ever since then he has been keen to get the project started.

I was so confused because no one had called me for a job in like nine months and by any measure I was really cold in Hollywood

He said: "It's one of the best roles I have ever been offered. And what's funny is that it came up a while ago. It was in 2001. I was on my fourth round of reshoots on 'The Bourne Identity', I'd had two movies come out that totally bombed, the 'Bourne' movie had been delayed for a year, and all the signals were that it was going to be a disaster too. So it was in that climate Steven called me and said he had found something for us to do together. I was so confused because no one had called me for a job in like nine months and by any measure I was really cold in Hollywood."
