Matuse is making a name for himself starring in two huge movies this year playing Fang in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga and Dune in The Fall Guy starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt. Matuse knew he wanted to be an actor ever since he saw Jim Carey in Ace Ventura and by the time he was about 10 years old he wrote his first script. Being from Southern Sydney Australia, he didn't see much representation of people like him in film and tv, but he is now on the journey of becoming that representation and inspiring others. He has a beautiful outlook on life, so much wisdom, and is a goal getter to say the least. What a pleasure getting to speak with a profound human. Ryan Gosling and George Miller have spoken highly of him and I know exactly why when speaking with Matuse.
