Guess who's back? Yup, Boston's own Ben Affleck.

His latest ad, "Ben Runs on Dunkin'" again stars Affleck as himself, but this time instead of working the drive-thru, he's on the other side of the counter ordering from a local Dunkin' store.
"I'm here for the 'Dunkin' Run' campaign commercial. It's a great deal, large coffee and a donut for a buck," he starts, before veering into a conversation about acting.

"So I thought it'd be authentic and meta -- yes, I'm doing the commercial, but am I doing the commercial? You know, I don't do commercials. I'm a real actor. This is an art form for me."
He's then asked by a Dunkin' employee about his role in the movie "The Departed," to which he responds "I'm Matt Damon," a reference to his longtime friend and co-star in "Good Will Hunting" and the new movie "Air."
"I love him," another Dunkin' employee says.
"Mmmmm... ah...," Affleck replies, shaking his head. "I mean, some of his work."
