The Staffa Corner Podcast
Episode 13
Guest: Matt Hamilton (Actor)
Matt Hamilton is a talented award-winning actor, having appeared on shows like Arrow and Supernatural as well as countless TV movies including A Wedding to Remember, Holiday Hearts, and The Dating List. His latest project is the new series Turner & Hooch on Disney+. The series isn’t a reboot of the classic 1989 comedy of the same name starring Tom Hanks, but rather a continuation of the story years later.
Matt plays Senior Deputy Marshal in the series which stars Josh Peck (Scott Turner). While Matt’s character Trent loves being in the spotlight and taking down criminals, the thing he isn’t fond of is dogs. In addition to Matt and Josh, the series stars Lyndy Fonseca, Carra Petterson, and Anthony Ruivivar, just to name a few.
It’s always fun talking to an actor before a series premieres because their answers are raw. They aren’t playing off what critics have said or the latest Twitter buzz.Their comments are totally unfiltered. You can hear the sense of pride in Matt’s voice as he describes a fight scene he shot for episode nine.
One of the things I couldn’t help but notice is most, if not all, of Matt’s work has been done in and around Vancouver, the same area wherehe grew up and went to college. While that part of Canada is a hotspot for the television and film industries. I wondered if as an actor the area had become a security blanket of sorts and was surprised by his response.
I enjoyed my conversation with Matt and hope the success of Turner & Hooch leads to bigger and better opportunities for. Perhaps some producers will take notice of him and his writings.
Turner & Hooch premieres July 16 on Disney+
I apologize the audio isn’t the greatest, at one point the call even dropped.
