About
Hello! Matt Here,
A little about myself, received a BA in theater and minor in Entrepreneurship at San Diego State University, where I was introduced to working in film. I signed up for a summer intensive at RADA in London where my passion for performing exploded. my desire to build a career in acting, writing, and singing grew to the point where something had to be done, and freshly out of a committed relationship, i had the wherewithal to throw everything to the wind and move to Los Angeles. while in LA, I’ve performed in several student films, readings, and most notably, as Theo Van Gogh in Starry the Musical at the Rockwell Theater. to continue my studies post-college, I’ve taken classes at Annie Grindlay Studio, Nerdist Improv, Berg Acting Studios, Currently at UCB, honing my comedic skills.
I am at odds to determine whether I should go by Matthew Sanderson, Matthew Gibson, or Sanderson Thunderberg. Recently scientifically proven to be an ENFJ, but a suppressed E, which makes you think I’m an I, but don't be fooled, cause I’m an E for sure, no question about it, science cannot lie.
