Matthew Goode

The actor with a speaking surname Matthew Goode has long attracted fans of films and TV series, because he played in such remarkable films as "Vicious Games", "The Imitation Game", "The Good Wife", "Downton Abbey" and other popular directorial works. 

On April 3, 1978, Matthew Goode was born in Devon, in the southwest of England. He spent his childhood in the city of Exeter, where beautiful historical sites are located: the episcopal palace, the cathedral, as well as a rich library and statues. Therefore, as a child, Matthew often observed narrow streets, cultural monuments, towers with Gothic spiers, and more.

The future actor grew up in an ordinary large family: his father worked as a geologist, and Jennifer's mother worked as a nurse and at the same time was an amateur theater director. Besides Matthew, the family also raised his brother and two half-brothers. Also, from the previous marriage of his mother, the actor has a sister, Sally Min, a famous American journalist and TV presenter. It is known that Goode gravitated towards acting from an early age: he was a regular at school plays and played in improvised scenes.

Having received a matriculation certificate, Matthew continued his studies: the choice fell on the drama department of the University of Birmingham, located in the UK, from which Simon Le Bon (vocalist of the Duran Duran group), John Poynting (British physicist), Mohamed "Mo" Ibrahim (African billionaire ) and other famous personalities. Goode later continued his studies at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Arts in London.

The directors could not pass by the stately (Matthew's height is 187 cm) guy with blue eyes, so it is not surprising that Good got on TV screens and showed himself as a professional actor. For example, in the film Vicious Games (2012), where a young man played along with Mia Vasikovskaya, he reincarnated as a mysterious man, whose addictions cause resentment and fear. And in the painting "The Burning Man" (2011), he appeared in the form of the successful chef Tom, whose life after an accident will not return to its normal course.

Matthew made his debut in the television movie Confessions of an Evil Step Sister (2002), but the inconspicuous role did not bring the actor fame and universal recognition. But there was not long to wait, because two years later, Goode appeared in Andy Cadiff's comedy "First Daughter" ("The Pursuit of Freedom"), where he played the charming motorcyclist Ben Calder, in love with a difficult girl. And she is not easy because she is the daughter of the President of the United States, whom an influential father protects like the apple of his eye from annoying fans and noisy parties. Also, the cast of this picture included Mandy Moore, Jeremy Piven, Mark Harmon and other movie stars.

After the tremendous success of Matthew Goode in the film "First Daughter", offers from eminent directors fell in one after another. Thus, the young man appeared on the set almost every year, delighting avid moviegoers with diverse characters. In 2005, Matthew Goode took part in Woody Allen's sports thriller Match Point, where he was fortunate enough to work with actors Jonathan Reese Myers and Scarlett Johansson.

In the same 2005, Good appeared in the film "Imagine Us Together" directed by Ola Parker. The plot of the film revolves around a couple in love, Rachel (Piper Perabo) and Heck (Matthew Goode). However, on the day of their wedding, a young girl begins to doubt the correct choice of a companion for her future life. In 2006, Matthew proved that he can play not only in romantic comedies: the actor starred in Agnieszka Holland's biopic Rewriting Beethoven, which tells about the ups and downs in the life of the great composer.

Next, Matthew, along with Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Jeff Daniels, plays in Scott Frank's crime thriller "Deception" (2006). Goode appeared before viewers in the form of Gary, a resourceful bandit who convinces his friend to cross the line of the law and take part in a bank robbery. Matthew's work in Brideshead Returns (2008) once again underlines the actor's versatility and professionalism. This picture tells about jealousy, love, family disagreements, and also reveals the secrets of an unknown future and an illusory past. 

Goode played Charles Ryder, a middle-class man who dreams of becoming a celebrated artist like Rembrandt or Picasso. Going to study in Oxford, Charlie meets a homosexual and part-time wealthy aristocrat Sebastian (Ben Whishaw) and settles in the Flyt estate. The guys form a strong friendship, but their joint idyll is spoiled by Julia (Hayley Atwell), who charms Ryder.

In 2008, Goode was fortunate enough to be reincarnated as a superhero in Zach Snyder's Watchmen, which tells the story of an alternate universe, where the Cold War between America and the Soviet Union was at its height. Matthew Goode played Adrian Wade - an ambitious millionaire, recognized as the smartest man on Earth, who is ready to invest in useful resources, but for the sake of wealth he is also ready to kill. In 2009, Good again delighted fans, this time appearing in Tom Ford's melodrama "A Single Man", where he played alongside Colin Firth, Nicholas Hoult and Julianne Moore.

From 2014 to 2015, the actor participates in the popular British television series Downton Abbey, which tells about the events of the early 20th century in England. In this serial, Matthew Goode plays Henry Talbot, Lady Violet's close friend. Henry Talbot is an ambitious young man, but, unfortunately, he does not offer any hope for the future, as he is not rich enough. This repels his beloved, smug Mary Crowley. Therefore, the character played by Matthew Goode has to plunge headlong into love affairs.

The guy's fans talked for a long time about his preferences, since the actor often played the roles of young people with a non-traditional sexual orientation. But Matthew Goode dispelled all rumors and assumptions: in 2007, he proposed to Sophia Dumok, who worked for a fashion company. The girl agreed. 

In 2009, the lovers had a daughter, Matilda Eva, four years later there was a second girl Teddy Eleanor Rose, and in 2015 Sofia gave her husband a son, Ralph. Unfortunately, Matthew Goode does not use the Instagram social network and does not delight fans with happy family photos surrounded by children and a loving wife.

In 2016, Matthew took part in the filming of the mini-series Roots, and also appeared in the movie Allies, where Brad Pitt and Marion Cotillard played the main roles.

2017 was a productive year for the actor, he played in "Presentiment of the End" and "Heist at Hatton Garden." He will also appear in the comedy Birthmarked (post-production), Roadside Picnic, and the film Guernsey in 2018.
