In 2008 it was rumoured that Matthew had gotten back with his former girlfriend Sienna Miller only for it to be later revealed she was dating his Brothers And Sisters co-star Balthazar Getty.
(edit)
Matthew has an older sister.
(edit)
Matthew and his co-star Sally Field were the last actors to be cast on Brothers And Sisters.
(edit)
Matthew is the final actor to play a murderer who was investigated by Peter Falk's Lt. Columbo.
(edit)
Matthew had a small part in the 1998 movie Elizabeth, with Cate Blanchett, Joseph Fiennes and Christopher Eccleston, but his part in the movie ended on the editing floor.
(edit)
Matthew: (on his character Kevin Walker in Brothers And Sisters): I share the commitment-phobic aspect of his character. There are elements of him that I love which I don't have myself. He can be very fearless when he wants to be and very brave when he needs to be, maybe because of his job. I admire him for that. But what I enjoy about playing him is that at one hand, he's this big, tough lawyer and on the other hand, he's this insecure person who has problems with relationships, commitment, finding true love and all that stuff we go through.
(edit)
Matthew: (on playing Dylan Thomas in The Edge Of Love): He's such a Welsh hero. Everyone in Wales is like, 'Oh my God, you're going to be the person to play Dylan Thomas'. I was like, 'Stop saying that'.
(edit)
Matthew: (on how he feels about his success): Yeah for the moment. There'll come a time when they'll say, 'He's too big for his boots. He's changed'.
(edit)
Matthew: (on how he got into acting): I was 17 when I played Elvis in a school production and that's when I got the acting bug, which a bit sad really when you think about it [laughs.] I realised I could maybe make it into a proper job, as it were, when Ioan [Gruffudd], who I was at school with, went to RADA to train. Up until that point I'd always thought RADA was some posh place that was just for English people, but when one of our own ended up there I started to think of it as an achievable goal for someone like me so I auditioned and got in. But, having said that, there was definitely no great master plan to have a big acting career. I just drifted along to begin with. Things just evolved organically, I suppose.
(edit)
Matthew: (on performing The Graduate on stage): I took the part with trepidation because the film was so well known. Dustin Hoffman had cast the part in stone, and here I was a young nobody trying to step into his shoes. But I made sure I did not see the film until after I finished the show.
