MATT
BERRY

Matt Berry is an English actor, comedian, writer and musician born in Bromham, Bedfordshire, on 2 May 1974. His work often brings together comic performance, a recognisable voice and music he creates himself.

His television work includes Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace and The IT Crowd, in which he played Douglas Reynholm. He also co-created the comedy Snuff Box and composed music for it.

Berry co-created and starred in Toast of London as Steven Toast, an eccentric actor navigating an often absurd professional life. The role won him the BAFTA for male performance in a comedy programme in 2015.

In What We Do in the Shadows, he plays vampire Laszlo Cravensworth in a mockumentary about housemates whose supernatural lives are filled with mundane conflicts. His theatrical delivery fits the series’ contrast between grand personalities and everyday frustrations.

Alongside acting, Berry records music and has composed for television, including Toast of London. His voice work and musical projects show another dimension of a career in which sound is central to character and mood.
