Biography
A chameleon-like actor who effortlessly glides between light comedy (The Broken Hearts Club: A Romantic Comedy (2000)), musical theater (Broadway's "Cabaret") and drama (Boys Don't Cry (1999)), Matt McGrath was hilarious as the Italian detective in Stanley Tucci's The Impostors (1998) and memorable as the annoying but adorable boyfriend in The Broken Hearts Club: A Romantic Comedy (2000). He has performed regionally on stages across the country and hones his craft in independent film gems, excelling in ensemble pieces. On the small screen, he turned in a chilling portrayal of real-life convicted killer Chris Pritchard in the TV mini-series, Cruel Doubt (1992), opposite Blythe Danner and Gwyneth Paltrow. He filmed a role in Anthony Minghella's The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999), but unfortunately ended up on the cutting room floor.
