Distinct faces in unsettling stories
An American actor whose work includes several Mike Flanagan series.
Matt Biedel is an American actor with television and film credits that include crime drama and horror. He has appeared in several series associated with filmmaker Mike Flanagan.
In Midnight Mass, Biedel plays Sturge, a member of the island community who follows the church’s direction. Netflix describes the character as someone who carries out orders even when he appears uneasy with them.
The Midnight Club gives him a very different part: Tim, Ilonka’s foster father. His concern for her places him on the family side of a story centred on seriously ill young people.
He later appeared as Bill-T Wilson in The Fall of the House of Usher. Moving among these productions, he plays characters with different relationships to the communities and families around them.
In the 2026 horror film Don’t Move, Biedel plays Mike Forrester. The film follows a group whose trip into the forest becomes dangerous.
