Matt Schulze(I)
- Actor
- Director
- Cinematographer
Matt grew up in St. Louis and spent a good deal of time in the rough
neighborhoods of East St. Louis. At age 16, he moved to Atlanta, where
he studied guitar at the prestigious Atlanta Institute of Music. He
moved back to St. Louis at age 17 and taught guitar for a year. He
moved to Los Angeles in 1992 to be a studio musician, but ended up
doing both acting and modeling. He did a Levi's commercial, then worked
as a Levi's model both in print and on the runway, living in Europe for
two years. He didn't much care for modeling, though, and decided to
focus his attention on acting. After guest appearances in several TV
shows, including "Charmed", Matt landed his first feature film role as
the vampire Crease in Blade (1998). Since then, he has had leading roles in
two independent films and major supporting roles in films like The Fast and the Furious (2001)
and Blade II (2002).
