Chien de berger métamorphe (2006)
Although born in California, he spent most of his life in Washington State, living north of the Seattle area.

When Matt was only six or seven, his parents met a group of gypsies while hiking with their children in Northern Italy. They accepted the Twining family into their fold and taught them a great deal about the gypsy life and philosophies.

His entire family is musically oriented. His mother sings and his father is a professional musician in the Seattle area, specializing in guitar and piano primarily. In addition to acting, Matthew is also an accomplished musician and singer, playing guitar, piano and drums, among other instruments.

While in high school, he played in the band Stikker with several friends and family, including Kris Orlowski of the band of the same name.

In his early twenties he played with a band called "One Day as a Lion" (previously known as Level), with several good friends from his home town.

In Adventures of Johnny Tao (2007), Matt did 90% of his own stunts. In addition to his acting, he was hired for his strong gymnastics ability.

    • Quotes
      When asked why he named his band "One Day as a Lion": It's based on a famous quote by Marlon Brando. When he was asked about acting, he said, "I would rather spend one day as a lion than my entire existence as a lamb." I thought that was pretty poignant, and that's the basis of what an entertainer is trying to do.
