Full Bio
Matthew Lillard attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Pasadena. In 1989, Lillard was chosen to host Nickelodeon’s short-lived “SK8” TV program. In 1991, he moved to New York to attend the Circle in the Square Theatrical School. After a two-year stint at the prestigious school, he landed a small role in John Waters’ dark suburban comedy “Serial Mom.”
Lillard’s breakthrough came with a major role in 1996’s “Scream.” Playing a homicidal teen, his performance in the critically and commercially successful film led to a string of big-budget appearances, including “Wing Commander” (1999), “She’s All That” (1999) and “Thir13en Ghosts” (2001). Lillard also turned in a well-received performance as Stevo, a lovingly satirized rebel in all-too-straight “Salt Lake City,” in the indie film SLC Punk. Additionally, Lillard voiced Shaggy on the cartoon series, “Scooby-Doo.”
Lillard has founded several theater groups including Mean Streets Ensemble (1990-1991), Summoners Ensemble (1994-1997) and Blue Sphere Alliance (1997- present).
Lillard currently lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Heather Helm.
