Goodman praises director Affleck

John Goodman says 'Argo' was made "so much easier" thanks to Ben Affleck's decisive directing.

The 'Big Lebowski' actor is full of praise for the way Affleck - who helmed the drama movie and starred as main character, real-life CIA 'exfiltration' specialist Tony Mendez - handled both roles "smartly" and he was impressed with the way he came up for new ideas for his alter-ego, renowned make-up artist John Chambers.
