Spencer Reid, Matthew's character in Criminal Minds, is a special agent in the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit.

After Criminal Minds, the actor starred in Netflix 's macabre thriller Horse Girl. He played Darren Colt, the procedural character (again) adored by the strange protagonist Sarah.

Matthew then reunited with Suburban Gothic director Richard Bates Jr on the set of King Knight. The actor starred as Thorn, the high priest of a modern-day California witches' coven, whose life changes dramatically when his past is revealed.

He then starred in the comedy series Dollface as Wes, a Los Angeles veterinarian who can't get along with the lead character, played by Kat Dennings.

Matthew's most recent acting gig was in Cinema Toast – an experimental project that rethinks the classics of cinema.

Cinema Toast is an unexpected interpretation of movies that bear the proud title of "public domain." Fragments from such movies are accompanied by new texts read by contemporary actors and actresses.

Matthew also wrote and illustrated a children's book called Rumple Buttercup: A Story of Bananas, Belonging, and Being Yourself.

It tells the story of a strange creature who lives underground because he is afraid the rest of the world will not accept him.

As a result, he realizes that he is not alone and that there are other creatures in the world who are willing to be friends with him.
