biography:
Matthew William Goode (* 3. April 1978 in Exeter, Devon, England) ist ein britischer Theater- und Filmschauspieler.

Sein TV-Debüt gab der 1,88 Meter große Schauspieler 2002 in Gavin Millars Aschenputtels Geheimnis, das einen unkonventionellen Blick auf das Grimmsche Märchen aus der Sicht einer der hässlichen Stiefschwestern gewährt. Ein Jahr später folgte unter der Regie des Spaniers Fernando Colomo die Tragikomödie South from Granada, mit der Goode sein Leinwanddebüt feierte. In dem Biopic über Gerald Brenan, ein Mitglied der Bloomsbury Group, agierte er an der Seite von Laurence Fox, mit dem ihn seit den Dreharbeiten eine enge Freundschaft verbindet. Nach einer größeren Rolle in dem TV-Film The Inspector Lynley Mysteries: A Suitable Vengeance, einer Verfilmung von Elizabeth Georges Kriminalroman Mein ist die Rache, folgte Andy Cadiffs romantische Komödie American Princess. Hier spielt Goode einen attraktiven Engländer, der sich der 18-jährigen Tochter des US-amerikanischen Präsidenten (gespielt von Mandy Moore) annimmt, die vor dem Geheimdienst flüchtet und quer durch Europa reist. Der Film, der vom Plot her leicht an William Wylers Ein Herz und eine Krone (1953) angelehnt ist, markierte den Durchbruch in Matthew Goodes Karriere und ließ ihn einem breiten amerikanischen Publikum bekannt werden.

Nach Auftritten in Tom Vaughans historischer TV-Mini-Serie He Knew He Was Right und John Stricklands Miss-Marple-Krimi Marple: A Murder Is Announced an der Seite von Geraldine McEwan, wurde im Jahre 2005 der US-Amerikaner Woody Allen auf Matthew Goode aufmerksam. Allen hatte in seinen Thriller Match Point, der komplett in England gedreht wurde, noch die Rolle des Tom Hewett zu besetzen, eines gutaussehenden Sohnes aus reichem Hause, der der Hauptfigur (gespielt von Jonathan Rhys Meyers) zum gesellschaftlichen Aufstieg verhilft. Allen gelangte an Bänder von Matthew Goode, lud ihn zum Vorsprechen ein und besetzte schließlich die Nebenrolle mit dem jungen Schauspieler. Zwar rief Allen seine Darsteller dazu auf, vor der Kamera zu improvisieren, doch war es vor allem Goode, der während der gesamten Dreharbeiten Allens Vorschlag befolgte. Match Point wurde bei seiner Premiere am 12. Mai 2005 bei den Filmfestspielen von Cannes von Kritikern hochgelobt und erhielt Anfang 2006 vier Nominierungen für den Golden Globe.

Nach der Zusammenarbeit mit Woody Allen agierte Matthew Goode in dem Romantikfilm Eine Hochzeit zu dritt und der TV-Komödie My Family and Other Animals. 2006 schlüpft er in Agnieszka Hollands Drama Klang der Stille in die Rolle des Martin Bauer. In der fiktiven Filmbiografie über die letzten Lebensjahre von Ludwig van Beethoven, war der charismatische Schauspieler an der Seite von Ed Harris und Diane Kruger zu sehen. 2008 übernahm er neben Ben Whishaw und Hayley Atwell die Hauptrolle des Charles Ryder in der Verfilmung von Evelyn Waughs bekanntem Roman Wiedersehen mit Brideshead, der 2009 der Part des Ozymandias in Zack Snyders Comic-Adaption Watchmen folgte. Im selben Jahr war Goode als Lebensgefährte von Colin Firth in Rückblenden in Tom Fords preisgekröntem Regiedebüt A Single Man zu sehen.

2010 spielte Goode neben Amy Adams in der Liebeskomödie Verlobung auf Umwegen die männliche Hauptrolle.

title: Wild Man Blues

overview: Wild Man Blues is a 1998 documentary film directed by Barbara Kopple, about the musical avocation of actor/director/comic Woody Allen. The film takes its name from a jazz composition sometimes attributed to Jelly Roll Morton and sometimes to Louis Armstrong and recorded by both (among others). Allen's love of early 20th century New Orleans music is depicted through his 1996 tour of Europe with his New Orleans Jazz Band. Allen has played clarinet with this band for over 25 years. Although Allen's European tour is the film's primary focus, it was also notable as the first major public showcase for Allen's relationship with Soon-Yi Previn.
