There is not much information on his early life and family history, however, it’s known that he grew up in Pomona, California alongside his mother, stepfather and nine siblings. The family shifted to Claremont, and he matriculated from Claremont High School in 2000. He had an avid interest in performing arts, specifically comedy, and it was around this time that Matt began “Ultimate Improv” in Westwood, and performed around Los Angeles, then thanks to a successful audition for Boom Chicago in Amsterdam, he performed improv and sketch comedy for three years before his return to Los Angeles.

As a result of Boom’s intense traveling schedule, Matt would often lose his voice, and ended up with his current signature hoarse voice.

Post his work with Boom Chicago, Jones starred in 20 commercials, including one with Midas. He had minor roles in the shows “Gilmore Girls” and “Greek”, before his big break with “Breaking Bad” in 2008.

He appeared in the films “Red State”, “Peter At The End” and “Dreamworld”, as well as the TV shows “Uncle Nigel”, “Reno 911!”, “Man Up” and “Hawaii Five-0”.
