Ben and Casey Affleck’s father, Timothy “Tim” Byers Affleck, died earlier this year.
Casey, 51, revealed the sad news Tuesday during a press conference for his movie “Company” at the 2026 Venice International Film Festival.
“It’s dedicated to my parents because I lost both my mom and my dad this year, and they were very important to me,” Casey — who directed, co-wrote and stars in the film — shared while speaking on a panel.
It’s unclear exactly when Tim — born March 21, 1950 — died, and reps for the Affleck brothers did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
“I really wanted to show this movie to them, and I didn’t get to,” Casey lamented during his short speech. “I think they would have liked it.”
Their mother, Christopher “Chris” Anne Affleck, died in June at age 83 following a six-month battle with pancreatic cancer.
Casey’s sons — Indiana Affleck, 22, and Atticus Affleck, 18, whom he shares with his ex-wife,
Summer Phoenix — also appear in “Company.”
“The good thing about being an artist, the best thing maybe, is that you can take all of the hardest experiences in your life and put it into your work, and it just makes you better,” the father of two marveled during the presser.
“If you’re willing to face it all, be honest about it all and show up vulnerably with those feelings and allow for the fact that you might not be able to really fully understand them, but you’re willing to put them into what you’re making, it’s a blessing.”
Tim — who held various jobs throughout his life, including working as a janitor, an auto mechanic and a bartender — dedicated his later years to sobriety after battling alcoholism.
