The Acting Stuff
Mark Pegg, actor and producer
"Very professional and eminently castable"
Terry Deary, Author of Horrible Histories
"I had an idea in my head for how Obnoctius should be played, but after seeing your interpretation of him I cannot see anyone else playing the character."
Ray Spencer MBE, Exec Director of The Customs House
"Your partner should have a peerage for putting up with you"
Acting
Matt combines a great "can do" work ethic with a genuine desire to be on stage or set to portray his assigned character to the best he can. A commanding presence, and always improving and adapting, Matt will do his all to make a project he is involved in a roaring success.
Plus, just look at him! He looks amazing!
Inept
A psychotic street fighter and his dodgy promoter struggle to make some money, starring Gaston Alexander as Derek and Matt Whitfield as Garry. Created by Buff Promotions.
Education
I study with the Acting Academy, under award winning actor and producer Mark Pegg (Eastenders, The Bill, Our Friends in the North) in the Art, Technique and Business of acting, as well as achieving a Law degree before my acting career.
Off The Wall
Written by “Horrible Histories” author Terry Deary, directed by Jake Smith and starring Matt Whitfield as Centurion Obnoctius Maximus.
Hadrian is on his way to Tyneside to celebrate the building of his Wall,the Romans, Britons and Picts are preparing, but they don’t quite see eye to eye!
Performed entirely on location at Arbeia Roman Fort, this was a cracking show with a wonderful cast, including guest emperors Ray Spencer MBE and Terry Deary himself!
Voice Overs
I have my own home studio and have been asked to do voice acting on an eclectic range of projects from Silver Helmet in the Star Wars fanfic film The Hand of Fate to a spoof on 80's films The Geordie Warriors series.
I use a Rode NTA1 wired mic, ran through a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen audio interface in a sound proofed home office. I use a Canon EOS M50 for recording to camera.
Shribbling
A fantastic time of the set of Shribbling with the very talented Natalie Read.
