Matthew R. Lawrence has been active in the world of entertainment for over 20 years.
He started in 1997 after falling in love with the joy of making people laugh while attending classes at the National Institute of Broadcasting. From there he sought out as much training as he could, taking classes from many great teachers including the famous Second City Training Centre in Toronto.
He also started his own improv troupe called the Canadian Improv Showcase. They too started in 1997 and have blossomed into Canada's best short-form improv group. They have successfully toured for over 21 years and have been featured in over 800 showcases worldwide. Their educational programmes have been conducted at over 400 schools across Ontario.

Matthew has had some great guidance and representation during his acting career and has amassed an impressive resume (which you can view here on this site). Many of his projects can be viewed here as well. He has made a name for himself in the industry with his wonderful work ethic, consummate professionalism, generous sense of humour and ease of manner.
But that's not all! Matthew is also an avid educator, running a charitable education group that features his improv group mentioned above as well as his historical education group the Knights in the Classroom. (www.knightsintheclassroom.com) There he gets to educate and entertain students and groups of all ages while staying physically fit doing historical martial arts and teaching stage combat.
Matthew is currently unrepresented, mainly due to a cacophony of family emergencies over the past number of years. He is interested in changing that. During this time Matthew has build his own voice recording studio and continued to train with many great teachers from across Toronto. His voice demos are now featured on this site. Check them out!
