I've tried to piece together a timeline of Matt and Ben's childhoods from various interviews, but some of the event timelines might not be accurate. Also, since English isn't my native language, there could be some errors in expression—and I hate English.

Childhood Timeline

1973

Matt's parents divorced. His mother took him and his older brother Kyle and moved from Newton back to the Cambridge neighborhood. They lived in a six-family communal house.

1979

Ben’s mother, who had a college friend working as a casting director in the Cambridge area, arranged a small cameo for seven-year-old Ben. It was his first acting experience.

1980

Thanks to their mothers’ introduction, Matt and Ben met for the first time. Casey was also there that day. Matt remembers little Casey, but Casey has no memory of it at all.

1981

The film The Dark End of the Street, in which Ben had a small role, was released this year.

1983

When Ben was 11, his parents divorced. His mother began renting out the second floor of their house.

From Ben’s window, he could see Matt’s room in a nearby building.

Every time Ben came to Matt’s door, he would knock and then hide across the street, scared of the older kids from the neighboring school who smoked and looked intimidating.

1984

Ben starred in the PBS educational TV series Voyage of the Mimi, which aired this year.

1985

Ben’s mother worked as a child actor coach at PBS and took Ben and Casey to Mexico for a year, traveling across Mexico and the Yucatán Peninsula with the show’s crew. This is when Ben learned Spanish.

Meanwhile, Matt entered Cambridge Rindge and Latin School, beginning his high school years.

1986

(Exact date inferred to be January 26, 1987)

While playing football in a snow-covered park in Cambridge, Matt got into a conflict with a kid nearly two meters tall. As he was knocked down and thought he was done for, the 5'3" Ben suddenly dashed out of nowhere and tackled the big guy, risking his own safety to protect Matt. At that moment, Matt realized Ben was someone who would risk himself for a friend—someone worth being bonded with for life.

That same year, Ben starred in the TV movie Wanted: A Perfect Man.

Ben's father became homeless due to alcoholism, spending two years living on the streets of Cambridge. During a school-organized visit to the court, his classmates even happened to encounter his father being arraigned there.

1987

Ben enrolled at Cambridge Rindge and Latin School, a public school famous for its drama department. Matt was already a senior. That year, Voyage of the Mimi: Season 2 aired, and Ben entered school as a “big star.”

However, Matt was unimpressed, as he was the senior leader in the drama department. He told Ben “Listen, man! All right? This is the theater. It's not about your looks, okay? It's about the work.”

Ben's mother had saved all his acting earnings in a college trust fund. However, Ben secretly withdrew $200 a month to buy alcohol and pizza. His secret was exposed when his mom changed his bedsheets and found bank statements. She sent him to a recovery center, where Ben spent three weeks, even rafting down the Colorado River with troubled teens.

That same year, Ben starred in the TV movie Hands of a Stranger.

1988

Matt graduated high school and got accepted to Harvard University.

Matt’s mother began learning Spanish and traveled through Central America to better understand the region’s conflicts. She took Kyle and Matt on three relatively mild trips where they stayed with local families, attended language classes, or traveled the country by public bus.

One summer in Guatemala, a war was underway. Matt witnessed children his own age joining the fighting.

That year, both Matt and Ben auditioned for Dead Poets Society but were rejected.

They opened a joint bank account to fund travel for auditions, depositing their savings together. The password was "riverp", inspired by their shared admiration for actor River Phoenix.

That same year, Ben’s father entered a rehabilitation center in Indio California, to treat his alcoholism.

1989

Matt was a freshman at Harvard. When Dead Poets Society premiered in June, both he and Ben worked part-time as ticket takers at the local movie theater.

1990

Ben followed his then-girlfriend to the University of Vermont, studying Spanish. However, he dropped out a few months later after injuring his tailbone while playing basketball.

He then moved to Los Angeles and enrolled at Occidental College, majoring in Middle Eastern Affairs.

Ben in Daddy （1991）

1992

Ben dropped out after a year and a half at Occidental College.

Right before Matt graduated, he chose to take a leave of absence from Harvard due to scheduling conflicts with a film shoot.
