Matthew Humphreys

Matthew Humphreys (born January 22, 1974) is an American actor, producer, and co founder of the Bachelor of Fine Arts Acting for Film, Television, Voice-overs, & Commercials (FTVC) at Pace University. He is known for his work in Bar Karma, The Immigrant, and The Good Shepherd.

Life and career Humphreys wanted to be an actor from childhood. In his adolescence, he considered other careers, including being a stockbroker and a United States Navy SEAL, but pursued acting and toured with a regional theatre company in the Midwestern United States and throughout New York.

Humphreys returned to graduate school after his time with the theater company. He graduated with a MFA in Acting from the Yale School of Drama, after which he received more numerous and more recognizable acting roles both on stage and on the screen. Humphreys has said that he had to improvise and be creative during the audition process. Other than his role in Bar Karma, his favorite job to date was portraying the vampire Dixon in the CW series Supernatural. He enjoyed the good company on the set and was especially thrilled to work with the director Kim Manners, whom he called "absolutely unbelievable".

In May 2017, Humphreys became the head of the BFA program after Brian Hastert stepped down to make room for other 'projects'.

In June 2021, Humphreys announced the ending of his tenure with Pace University and intentions to move to Bristol, England for a new educational opportunity at the Bristol School of Acting.

Since October 2021, Humphreys has served as the Director of Acting Programmes with the goal to reimagine actor training at the school.
