Matthew Nadu began his acting career as a Water Nation Warrior in M. Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender although he exaggerated about knowing any type of karate. He eventually adapted and would go on to do his own stunts as Sarge in the comedy "Booted" starring Alan Ruck (Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Spin City) and Ryan Dunn (Jackass.)

From there he went on to hold supporting leads in two indie slashers "Nobody Gets Out Alive" (2013) with Clint Howard (The Water Boy, Apollo 13) and "Hallow's Eve" (2012) with horror queens Danielle Harris and Ashley C. Williams. In 2013 Nadu again found himself with Howard and Williams along with horror staples Bill Moseley and Lisa Wilcox acting and producing on the thriller "The Church" and its sequel "The Church; Second Offering." In 2013 he also appears briefly alongside Harrison Ford and Liam Hemsworth in the film "Paranoia."

In the Spring of 2012, Nadu appeared in his second national commercial ("Dance, Dance 2," 2010) for ESPN's "Streak for the Stache." Along with film and commercials, Nadu is transitioning into television working on several episodes of MTV's "Guy Code" and "Girl Code" and even appears alongside Corey Parker Robinson (The Wire) in 50Cent/ Trey Songz' 2014 music video "Smoke."

Nadu has also starred in several theater productions including Derrell Lawerence's "Do You Trust Your Best Friend" alongside Sean Blakemore, Monifah, Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins (TLC) Chris Williams and Stockholm Fringe Festival invitee "As Wicked As Dangerous." Nadu is a native of Philadelphia. He's the oldest of nine children and was an on-air talent as a member of CBS3/The CWPhilly's "The Crew."
