As a screenwriter, he worked at most of the major studios writing and rewriting movies that never got made before finally turning his attention to television.
Matt is best known as the creator, writer, and executive producer of the USA Network hit series Burn Notice which ran from 2007 to 2014, spending several of those years as the highest rated show on basic cable. He created and ran The Good Guys for Fox and Complications for USA, co-created and exec produced the half-hour The Comedians for FX, developed and co-ran APB for Fox, created and ran the Marvel/X-men show The Gifted for Fox, created and ran Turner & Hooch for Disney+, and created and ran True Lies for CBS.

He’s also currently developing an indie dramedy feature to direct and a feature horror spec.
