Matt was axed from Days Of Oour Lives in July 2006, just weeks after he signed a new contract to remain on the show. He had signed a new contract in the spring, but with Melissa Reeves’ (Jennifer) exit, it was decided to let Matt go as well.
(edit)
Matthew appeared in Pacific Blue in an episode called 'Soul Mate'. He played several different characters. This episode first aired in November 1997.

(edit)
Matt: (On the Salem forensics department in “Days Of Our Lives“) Remember the Salem police department - they have never solved a single crime. If you want to get a crime solved in Salem, you’ve got to leave it to the teenagers.
(edit)
Matt: (on his visit to Australia in 2006) I ate a kangaroo pizza and did the Harbour Bridge climb. Sydney is the most beautiful Harbour in the world.
(edit)
Matt: (his favourite character) Frasier. And Andy Griffith, Lucille Ball and Jackie Gleason are all great classic characters.
(edit)
Matt: (his favourite show) I enjoy House because the character reminds me of Jack Deveraux and I think Hugh Laurie’s great. He’s settled on a fun character who’s just right for our times. And I love The Sopranos because it’s a great soap opera - it’s about a bunch of unlovely people doing unlovely things whom you can’t help but love.
(edit)
Matt: (on Jason Cook‘s directorial debut, Social Security Guard) I was very pleased by what Jason did. It shows there is a lot of creativity in Daytime.
