Matthew was born and raised in a small North Yorkshire fishing village, eventually passing up the lure of the ocean for the boards when he moved to London to train at the Drama Centre.

With a passion for stage, screen and the recording studio, he has enjoyed success playing a range of comical and dramatic roles both old and new.  Whether penned by the Bard and performed to theatre goers, new writing developed for the screen/radio, or written himself for online sketch forums, he relishes every opportunity to bring characters to life.  Interrogating what makes them tick or poking fun at everyday situations, our expectations and reactions to them, and, most of all, himself.

Matthew is represented by David Daly Associates.
