Matthew "Matt" Frewer (born January 4, 1958) is a Canadian-American stage, TV, and film actor. Acting since 1983, he is probably best known for portraying the 1980s icon Max Headroom.
Frewer was born in Santiago de Cuba, the son of Gillian Anne (née German) and Frederick Charlesley Frewer, a Canadian naval officer.[1] He was raised in Peterborough, Ontario, and trained at the famous Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, graduating from its three-year acting course in 1980. In 2009 Frewer played the retired villain Moloch the Mystic in the film adaptation of the comic book series Watchmen.
He holds dual citizenship in Canada and the United States. When not on location, he, his wife, Amanda Hillwood, and their daughter divide their time between Malibu, California, and the Gatineau Hills of Quebec.
