Matthew E. "Matt" Nix (born September 4, 1971) is an American writer, producer, and director. He is best known for creating the USA Network television series Burn Notice and the Fox series The Good Guys.
Nix was born in Los Angeles, California to Phillip and Susan Nix, and graduated from Analy High School in Sebastopol. A graduate of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), he was a UCLA Alumni Scholar. He is married to Melinda Stahl.
In summer 2006, Matt Nix created Burn Notice, a TV series whose title refers to the burn notices issued by intelligence agencies, which discredit or announce the dismissal of agents or sources. The television series follows agent Michael Westen (played by Jeffrey Donovan), who is abandoned by all his normal intelligence contacts. Not knowing why he has been "burned", he begins to work as a freelance spy and investigator as he tries to find out what happened.
The series premiered on USA Network on Thursday, June 28, 2007. It co-starred Gabrielle Anwar as Fiona Glenanne (Westen's "trigger-happy girlfriend"), Bruce Campbell as Sam Axe (an old friend who "used to inform on" Westen to the Federal Bureau of Investigation), Sharon Gless as Madeline Westen (Michael's mother), and as of season four Coby Bell as Jesse Porter (a spy Westen accidentally burned). During production of its fourth season in early 2010, it was announced that the series had been renewed for two more seasons.
