Ben Affleck has called the success as a director with Argo as a 'second act'.
Affleck enjoyed huge success at the Bafta Awards last night as he picked up Best Director while Argo was named Best Film.
As he picked up his Best Director award he recognised the struggles that he has faced over the years and thanked the industry for giving him a second chance.
"I want to say this is a second act for me, you have given me that and this industry has given me that. I want to thank you for that and I am so grateful and proud.
"I just want to dedicate this to anyone else out there who is trying to get their second act because you can do it."
Affleck and Argo has already triumphed at the Golden Globes, Screen Actors Guild and Directors Guild of America Awards.
And while Argo is in the running for Best Picture at the Oscars in less than two weeks Affleck himself was overlooked for Best Director.
