Actor Casey Affleck may have earned a best supporting Oscar nomination nod, but he would like a "Father of the Year" award just as much.

Affleck, younger brother to actor Ben Affleck, told People Daily that being a dad to his two young sons is his most rewarding role to date. Affleck and wife Summer Phoenix, have a 3-year-old son named Indiana, and their second son was born in January. His name has not been released.

Casey Affleck has become a father for the second time. The 32-year-old actor - who is the younger brother of Hollywood heartthrob Ben Affleck - and wife Summer Phoenix recently celebrated the arrival of their son.

Both mother and baby are said to be doing well.

George Clooney says Nicole Kidman will be the "perfect" mother.

George, who has been friends with Nicole since they starred together in 1997's "The Peacemaker", sent his congratulations to the pregnant actress and joked she will make a fantastic "tall" parent.
