A native of Framingham, MA, actor Matt Bushell exuded a slightly dominant, commanding attitude that served him particularly well in portrayals of security guards, detectives, military personnel, and other similar types. He formally began his career in the early 2000s, and thereafter shifted regularly between film and television with great ease. Memorable projects included small screen appearances on the series 24, CSI: NY, and NYPD Blue and cinematic roles in the George Clooney/Renée Zellweger feature comedy Leatherheads and the vampire-themed romantic fantasy Twilight (2008).
