Ian Matthews

Ian Matthews has one of those faces—familiar, but you can’t always place it right away. He’s the kind of actor who pops up in something, and you're like, “Wait, wasn’t he in that other show?” Yeah, that’s him. He’s been around the block with a bunch of projects, but people mostly spot him thanks to Robin Hood (2023), The Hardy Boys (2020), and See (2019). That’s kind of a wild mix if you think about it. Let’s start with Robin Hood. The 2023 version really went for a new spin on the old legend, and Ian’s role—while not the main guy swinging from trees—still gave the story some real edge. He’s the type of character actor who can jump from medieval grit to small-town mystery without missing a beat. And then there’s The Hardy Boys. Seriously, who didn’t read those books as a kid? The show nails that classic sleuthing vibe, and Matthews just slots in perfectly, bringing authenticity to a story that’s all about secrets and twists. Now, See is a whole different beast. Post-apocalyptic, everyone’s blind, and society has basically rebooted. It’s gritty, weird, kind of haunting, and Ian’s performance just fits the atmosphere—he’s got this way of saying a lot without actually saying much. He’s like the glue in these ensemble casts, the guy who doesn’t need a spotlight to steal a scene. Not bad for someone who’s not exactly a household name, right? But if you pay attention, you’ll start noticing him everywhere.
