Matthew August Jeffers
Interview with
“Unidentified Objects” actor Matthew
August Jeffers
Hi Matthew, please tell us a little about you?
Hi! I’m Matthew – I am a human first, actor second. For many
years I thought I was the biggest smallest extrovert in the room, but the more
I investigate myself, I’ve realized that I prefer to be an active observer, and
I have many more questions than answers. Avid cyclist and I’m very big on hugs.
Baltimore native and proud alum of Beth Tfiloh and Towson
University.
Describe yourself in 3 words?
Curious, Charismatic, Calming.
How did you get started into acting?
My path to the stage was lovingly directed by my mom. I was a
big jock growing up and tried (Valiantly, but unsuccessfully) to make it
on to any and all sports teams. Mom recognized very early on that I interacted
with humans in unique ways. She signed me up to audition for “You’re A Good
Man, Charlie Brown” in 8th grade, and I was cast as Schroeder. It’s cliche to
say the rest is history, but it was a very linear progression from that
first show. I majored in Theater in college, and moved to The Big Apple
after graduation to see what I could muster.
