“People like the idea of being an artist more than the idea of practicing and becoming the absolute best.” - Matt Williams

On this week’s episode of The MAKE IT Podcast, we have a conversation with award-winning Actor, Matt Williams (@mattwilliamsinc).⠀⠀⠀⠀

In 2015, Matt starred in the award-winning short film,  'Everyday Yeti' written and directed by Motke Dapp, in which he was nominated for Best Actor.

The following year, Matt teamed up with Dapp again, in the short film 'Lessons In Accidental Magic,' which won over a dozen awards, including a Best Actor nod for Matt.

Matt is also known for his roles in films such as 'Shaken Not Stirred,' 'Introverts Anonymous' and the improvised performance art mocumentary, 'Pieces.' He has made an appearance on CMT’s Nashville, and starred in the hit web series WTF?!, as well as appearing in commercials for brands such as Toyota, Valvoline, Zappos, Cotton: The Fabric of Our Lives, ADS Security, Cox Business and Sport Clips, among others.

Later in 2016, Matt joined the Third Coast Comedy Training Center, where he quickly fell in love with the art of improvisation, leading Matt to create his troupe, The Varsity. The Varsity can be seen performing periodically at Third Coast Comedy Club in Nashville, TN.

Matt is also the co-founder of Nashville Underground Radio, which he co-founded in 2012, and the co-founder of Nashville Underground Management, a company, focused on signing and garnering publishing deals, television appearances and song placements for up-and-coming artists.
