No good roles any more


What's with these weak ass roles he's been getting?

No one will confuse him with Marlon Brando - but he's a little better than the roles he's playing these days. The last memorable (somewhat) job he got was as Dr. Powers in Any Given Sunday.

This guy needs to hire a new agent.

ahahahaha, I'm watching him on The West Wing right now. Sadly I think this is the only other thing I've seen him in besides Full Metal Jacket. He's good in this show, he should still be able to get some work.

He gets work...it just sucks haha. I think being the "cute teen guy in stupid movies (IE: Private School) early in his career doomed him in.

No, not necessarily. Matt had a great guest appearance in LAW AND ORDER: SVU. He played against his usual harmless, good-guy type as the sick pedophile-murderer Gordon Rickett in the episode "Rage". Check it out when you get the chance.

I don't watch Law and Order - I work when it comes on...but I'll make sure to check that one out. I have a question for you though. I know Vincent D'Onofrio is or has been on L&O too...was he in that episode? It'd be great to see Private Joker and Private Pyle on the same screen again.
