In this episode of This Dude Started Something, Oliver and Brayden sit down with Matt Drago, an actor, director, producer, and fourth-degree black belt. Raised in a dojo by a sensei father, Matt shares how martial arts shaped his self-discipline, career, and mindset in the entertainment industry. He discusses his latest lead role in "Somewhere in Montana", the grit behind stunt work, and his method acting approach, including losing 25 pounds for a role.

The conversation dives deep into auditioning for major Hollywood roles, including his near-casting in Pirates of the Caribbean, the challenges of action films, and the importance of storytelling in indie cinema. Matt also gives an inside look at his film production company, and their upcoming Christmas film set in his hometown of Front Royal, VA.

And of course, the guys put Matt’s martial arts expertise to the test, debating who would win in a street fight: Timothée Chalamet vs. Tom Holland.
