From Ottawa to Hollywood: The Early Quest

Matthew’s story begins far from the glitz of Hollywood in the chilly city of Ottawa, Ontario. His childhood was unique, shaped by a mother who was a press secretary for Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and a father who juggled acting and modeling.

At the young age of 15, Matthew took a leap of faith, moving to Los Angeles to attend The Buckley School in Sherman Oaks. It was here, amidst the pursuit of acting and a focus on comedy, that he faced a rollercoaster of triumphs and setbacks. These formative years laid the foundation for the star he would become.
