Matt Cohen’s roots are straight-up South Florida—football and track in high school, brains to boot (3.8 GPA, not too shabby). He heads off to Florida State, cracks open some business textbooks, but gets bit by the acting bug in a few theatre classes. Next thing you know, he ditches the business grind, packs his bags for LA, and chases the Hollywood dream. Wild thing? The dude barely has time to unpack and he’s already snagged the lead as Aiden Dennison, the not-so-typical jock on “South of Nowhere.” Talk about a quick launch. From there, he hops around—guest spots on “The OC,” “Medium,” and even pops up on “Supernatural.” Movie gigs, too. He lands a leading role in “Boogeyman 2,” showing he’s not just a one-trick pony. What’s funny is, the “South of Nowhere” crew? They’re all up in each other’s projects. Matt teams up with Danso Gordon in “Dark House.” Mandy Musgrave jumps onto Matt’s web series “Rockville, CA.” Maeve Quinlan, Gabrielle Christian, Mandy Musgrave—these folks just keep mixing it up. “3Way,” “Girltrash,” music videos, movies, you name it. Everybody seems to cameo somewhere. Fun twist: a lot of these “high schoolers” were basically undercover adults. Matt was 23, Marisa Lauren was 25, Danso Gordon was 26 while playing teens. Showbiz, right? And the cameos keep coming—Greek, music videos, indie films. It’s like one big, talented family that refuses to move out of each other’s creative lives.
Supernatural (2005) had this wild run where guest stars would just keep popping back up, like, oh hey, didn’t I see you get possessed by a demon two seasons ago? Filming another guest spot on this show isn’t just a gig, it’s practically a rite of passage for TV actors—seriously, everyone’s been on it. The set’s got this reputation for being both a little chaotic and super fun, mostly because Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki can’t go five minutes without cracking up or pulling pranks. So imagine rolling up for your scene, and you’re surrounded by fake blood, salt circles, maybe some dude in a rubber monster suit. It’s kind of iconic, honestly. Even if your character only survives fifteen minutes, fans remember you, and suddenly you’re getting recognized at conventions for that one time you got thrown through a window by a ghost. Not a bad day at the office.
Alright, so this guy’s talking about the most romantic thing he’s ever pulled off, and honestly? It’s a wild one. He’s done your regular sweet stuff, sure—cheesy letters, all that—but then he straight-up designed a tattoo for a girl. Not just sketched it on a napkin, but something so cool she actually went and got it inked on her skin. That’s next-level, right? Of course, they don’t talk anymore. Story of everyone’s life. Still, he’s convinced she’s never gonna forget him, and, I mean, how could she? There’s a piece of his art stuck on her forever. It’s like this bittersweet badge of romance and regret—kinda gutsy, kinda tragic, but definitely memorable. Guess that’s the risk when you mix love and permanent body art. Some people give flowers, this dude leaves a mark. Literally.
