About Me

  

 Matt James Clifton was born 22nd of November 1986, into a small country town of Tullamore, New South Wales, Australia, having no more than two hundred people. Was the youngest of four boys. Matt was raised and brought through the hardships of the land, bearing the drought year after year until being enrolled into a boarding college in senior high. It was from here that he began to unfold into an on-stage naturalist. Performing in many stage shows within the local community and also competing at regional levels. Here he won an award for 'Best New Talent' at the regional Theaters. 
Upon graduation Matt ventured to the shores of Sydney to embark on a journey towards his dreams in acting. He landed a number of TV commercials, some including 'Samsung Mobile', 'Netflix', and 'Nutri-Grain'. Also making guest appearances on an ABC Kids show, 'Blue Water High'. Matt's first small break was to be when he secured Lead Host on 'Kidz Biz' but remorsefully turned down the role when given the chance to move to Hollywood. 

Matt was accepted into a prominent LA intensive actors program with the chance to train with some of Hollywood’s best. Taking no time to think the young aspiring actor once again was leaving no stone unturned on his quest to live the dream. 

Now, pending a work visa, Matt is currently studying the craft with eminent Hollywood Directors, Producers, Agents, Talent Managers, Writers and Casting Directors.

He admires the craft of actors Christian Bale, Al Pacino, Hugh Jackman, and Will Smith, and uses their influences in his work. Will in particular, with his natural approach to an immense work ethic. Matt’s natural ability to create intrinsic motivation is a strength that will allow him to deflect obstacles. His love for sports and dedication to the gym keep him fit and on the desired road to healthy living.

Matt's ever increasingly desire to achieve his goals has found him with opportunities which in themselves have been the essence of his motivation.

 

 

 

 

"Success doesn't find you, you find success"

 

...it's the every day decisions that create the opportunities to which in turn provide the starting point for success...
