Meet Matt.

Matt grew up in Bulgaria and later lived in Connecticut for most of his youth. He holds a BFA in Theatre from Central Connecticut State University and is currently an MFA Acting candidate at Michigan State University-go Green! He is a certified Meisner teacher through the Meisner Institute and is currently in the process of earning certification as an Intimacy Director and a Michael Chekhov instructor.

Matt enjoys all aspects of performance but specializes in character acting, physical comedy, and improvisation. As a Meisner-trained actor, he strives to live truthfully in each moment of performance. He is well versed in dialect work, heightened text, and a wide range of styles from the Elizabethan period through the 20th century. His movement work is rooted in the Michael Chekhov technique. Matt also has strong interests in voice-over work, teaching, directing, and producing.
