Matthew Booth
Matthew Booth, ever heard of him? Maybe not right off the bat, but the guy’s face has shown up in some absolute classics. He was part of Face/Off, that wild ‘90s rollercoaster with Travolta and Cage—yeah, the one where they literally swap faces. Not exactly your average gig. Booth’s role isn’t front and center, but he’s in the thick of it, tangled up in all the chaos, gunfire, and that bonkers identity drama.
Before that, he pops up in The Last of the Mohicans (1992). Now, that’s a movie packed with sweeping shots, Daniel Day-Lewis running through the woods, everyone’s hair looking like it’s seen better days, and a whole lot of tension. Booth slipped into the world of colonial America, and while he’s not the guy with the tomahawk, he’s there, holding his own in a story brimming with action and heartbreak. You blink, you might miss him, but he’s part of that tapestry.
And then there’s The Last Boy Scout (1991), which is basically an explosion-filled, wisecracking buddy-cop fever dream starring Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans. Booth’s not the dude cracking all the jokes, but he’s in the mix—dodging bullets, probably getting yelled at by Willis, and adding to that gritty ‘90s vibe.
So yeah, Matthew Booth isn’t a household name, but he’s been right there—dodging bullets, swapping faces, running through colonial battlefields. He’s one of those “Hey, I know that guy from somewhere” faces that pop up and make movies a bit richer, even if his name doesn’t always hit the marquee.
