Matt was a guest on Brian Levenson's podcast, Intentional Performers on October 9, 2019.  Due to the holiday hiatus, and with the generosity of Brian, we are reposting it here on 10,000 "No"s.  Here is the description from Brian's feed...

 

Matthew Del Negro joins us on this week's episode of the podcast.  Matthew is an actor that has played a wide range of roles in features both on TV and in theater.  He has worked on TV shows such as Scandal, Sopranos, West Wing, Showtime's United States of Tara, MTV's Teen Wolf, and now he's on a show called Goliath on Amazon Prime.  He is a philosopher at heart, a deep thinker, and he will talk about how he's been reflective throughout his life and how that's led him to this journey of acting.  He's also a podcast host, and his podcast 10,000 No's has all kinds of incredible guests.  Matthew is on a journey and he's trying to find out how he can be a great actor and great at other parts of his life.  He is obsessed with adversity and hearing no, and how others have developed a relationship with adversity and how to turn failures or no's into opportunities.
