Born in Abilene, Texas, and raised in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, Matt Harwell's life was
eclectic from its very beginnings. Like most American boys, he grew up
on the athletic fields chucking baseballs, footballs, and whatever else
he could get his hands on. However, being the grandson of a preacher,
and the son of a Broadway-trained father, the love of sports was
accompanied by a fascination for the somewhat more refined field of the
theater.
Today, the eclectic nature of Matt's life continues. Although his
dreams of starting at quarterback for the Green Bay Packers are
undoubtedly gone, his aspirations have matured to see him work not only
as an actor of screen and stage, but as a producer, writer, and model.
Matt's deep appreciation for the art of performance, his hunger for new
and exciting experiences, and a fairly evident case of ADHD, has
created a talent that is pliable, devoted, genuine, and full of
originality.
