Today Matt owes a lot of his success to his family for always believing in his dream! “I grew up in a very small town in Arkansas, in a household that wasn’t super-wealthy,” he shares. “When I said I wanted to give acting a go, my brother decided to take everything that was in his savings and what he’d worked his life for and give me a shot.”
