The Making of 'Air': Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and the Michael Jordan Factor.

Ben Affleck explains why Michael Jordan's face is not shown in his new film "Air," despite the NBA superstar playing a pivotal role. Affleck felt that Jordan was too big to be impersonated and that seeing an actor play him would destroy the movie. Instead, Jordan is talked about by everyone but not seen, with only archival clips and snippets of footage used. Affleck also expanded the role of Viola Davis's character, Deloris Jordan, to become the focus of the Nike executives' courtship efforts.
