A talented actor with a flair for the dramatic (and the hilarious), Matt Bendix has been lighting up the stage since graduating from Ignition Theatre in 2018. He joined the Rollercoaster Theatre Ensemble in early 2019 and has embraced every performance opportunity with boundless enthusiasm.

Right now, he’s deep in the world of filmmaking—writing, directing, and starring in Police Ninja Deadly Force, his homage to the over-the-top kung fu movies of the 1970s. He also played the lead role in Tea Party! and is gearing up for its next big tour. Next on his radar? Voice acting.

Matt calls himself a born entertainer, living by the words of Peter Ustinov: “Comedy is simply a funny way of being serious.” His philosophy? If he can make just one person smile through his performances, it’s a day well spent.
