Matt Steele

Born and raised just outside of Trenton, NJ, Matt Steele began acting in a self-constructed theatre he and his older brother built in their basement. He spent his childhood performing in both local and professional theatre in the NJ/NYC area before attending NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. There, he studied drama and musical theatre under CAP21 and acting for the screen with Stonestreet Sudios. Following graduation, Matt was one of 22 musical theatre majors across the country selected to perform in the Broadway's Rising Stars concert at NYC's Town Hall. His performance was noted in reviews as one of the evening's highlights, with critics emphasizing his unique personality, stage presence, and ability to entertain the 1,500 seat house. Matt has since acted in various film and television projects like Dark Desire (with Kelly Lynch) and Buddy Solitaire (with Sally Kirkland). He developed a large online fanbase through both his acclaimed web series "The Doomsday Diaries," in which he filmed a comedic video every day for an entire year, and his current YouTube show and podcast, "Two Gay Matts." In 2020, he starred as "Ricky Redmond" in the feature film, "DIVOS!" -- a film he also wrote and produced. "DIVOS!" co-starred Nicole Sullivan, Jake Busey, and Tony Award-winner Marissa Jaret Winokur, and it went on to win "Best Comedy" at the LGBTQ Unbordered International Film Festival. In addition to acting, Matt has authored several plays which have been performed across North America and are available for production from various dramatic publishing companies. He enjoys playing the violin and lip-syncing to divas in his bedroom, and he's known for his encyclopedic knowledge of award show trivia.
