Matthew is an exceptional actor. He took an incredibly challenging and daunting role, a bilingual autistic savant, came to set the first day and blew everyone away with his precise accuracy to the character and unwavering professionalism in his research and craft. He is definitely someone to look out for who will make a name for himself as a powerhouse actor in this industry.

-Matthew Gregory: Professor at the Lee Strasberg Institute of Film and Theatre/NYU Gallatin/ American Academy of Dramatic Arts
"Matthew is a passionate student that took the time to intricately map out the physicality of his characters with the animal exercise. He picked up direction very quickly and effectively and had the intrigue and experience to assist me in the Commedia Dell Arte class at The Strasberg Institute and demonstrate mask work at NYU as well."
-Neal Broderick: Writer/Director of The Checkout Line, Producer (Nightbreed Films)
"Watching Matt take on this role with meticulous detail was truly a sight any director or filmmaker would want to see in their actor. He fully immersed himself in his technique and organically presented a feverish despair, giving me everything I needed for my film. From one director to another, cast this actor! You'll be glad you did."
