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.
