Matthew Jure is a Canadian-British actor and musician who grew up on
the south coast of England. After starting out in theatre, he moved
into music and radio before returning to acting, first on stage and
then on film.
His critically acclaimed roles have included the amnesiac Man in
arthouse film Undertow, obsessive-destructive mathematician Septimus
Hodge in Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the title role in Macbeth.
Matthew has been nominated for five awards and has won three.
Matthew's first leading stage role was Cripple, a disfigured orphan in Bill Owen's The Ragged School, the true story of how Dr Barnardo came to open his orphanages.
Matthew's guitar is called Dimples because of a pair of accidental indentations made by a squashed guitar case on his first flight to Hollywood.
