Relocating to New York, Matthew swiftly joined the Screen Actors Guild, laying the foundation for his remarkable journey. A move to San Francisco allowed him to hone his craft through Top Models & Talent Agency before making the leap to Los Angeles in 1996.
His artistic pursuits led him to the Bob Baker Marionette Theater and the Los Angeles Opera, where he immersed himself in puppetry. Transitioning to TV commercial acting, Matthew sought guidance from Emmy/Clio Awards-winner Vernee Watson, whose mentorship catapulted him into the industry.
Since then, Matthew has not only secured a national commercial but also appeared in the Warner Bros.-financed short film "Bertie the Brilliant," garnering accolades and PBS airtime.
