Matthew Robert Patrick, more commonly known by screen name MatPat, is an American actor, writer, and internet personality. He is best known as the creator and narrator of the YouTube webseries Game Theory, where he comments on things such as the logic, scientific accuracy, and lore of various video games and the gaming industry. He is also known for creating the spinoff Film Theory, centering around cinema and internet filmography instead of gaming, his gaming channel GTLive, and the YouTube Red series MatPat's Game Lab. As of January 2017, Patrick has amassed over 14 million subscribers and over one billion views total across his three channels.
Between July 1, 2016 and July 31, 2016, he starred in the game show The Runner. The show was produced by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon and was available on Go90.
Matthew Patrick was born on November 15, 1986 in Medina County, Ohio. Growing up, Patrick was very involved in the arts, especially musical theatre. He valued education and spent most of his school career studying or taking classes. His enthusiasm led him to skip his lunch periods to take classes and to spend his summer vacations taking courses at college campuses. He eventually became the valedictorian of his graduating class, and earned a perfect score on his SAT. His strong academic record earned him acceptance into the prestigious Duke University.
Immediately after graduating from Duke University with a double major in neuroscience and theater, Patrick moved to New York City in order to pursue an acting career, which he eventually quit. After two years of mostly unemployment, he uploaded the promotional trailer for Game Theory, and four days later, he uploaded the first episode, explaining the scientific accuracy of the time travel of the SNES game Chrono Trigger.
