Matt Damon is only 44, but he’s already had a lifetime’s worth of landmark Hollywood performances, in films ranging from Good Will Hunting to The Departed to True Grit.
But in just under eight minutes on Tuesday night, Damon was able to act out all the most prominent points in his career on The Late Late Show, with host James Corden filling in for many of his notable co-stars, from George Clooney in the Ocean’s series to Jude Law in The Talented Mr. Ripley.
Also included: Damon’s performance in The Martian, which hits theaters on Friday—only days after scientists announced the presence of water on Mars.
