One, how much I truly enjoy performing. Two, I remembered, [I'm] pretty damn good at this. And three, I remembered that acting is a vacation for me, and what I mean by vacation is that when when I’m performing, it’s my singular focus,” Matthew told Variety in a new interview. “When I walk out the door in the morning, my wife says, ‘go kick some ass.

I got the kiddos. We’re good.’ That’s vacation. Because I’m not multitasking. I’m not compartmentalizing. I’m fully focused on finding the truth of my character,” he added.

The Rivals of Amziah King tells the story of a “charismatic owner of a honey operation in Oklahoma and his relationship with his foster child.” If you didn’t see, Matthew also appeared in an entertaining Super Bowl commercial last month.
