Matthew Joseph Newton (born 22 January 1977) is an Australian actor, writer, and director who is best known for his role as Terry Clark on Underbelly: A Tale of Two Cities. His career was interrupted by treatment for a depressive illness. Newton has relocated to New York City where he has resumed his directing and acting career.
Newton was born in Melbourne in 1977, and is the son of television personalities Bert and Patti Newton, brother of Lauren Newton, and brother-in-law of gold-medal swimmer Matt Welsh. He was educated at Xavier College and the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA), where he graduated with a degree in Acting in 1998.
Newton has performed in Australia and abroad on stage, television and movies. In 1988, he starred in Sugar and Spice, a children's television series. In 1992, he starred in Late For School, a drama series that aired briefly on Channel Ten. Over the next few years, Newton had guest roles in various shows. In 2000, he starred alongside Pia Miranda in the film adaptation of the popular teen novel Looking for Alibrandi. Probably his most recognisable international role was in the Australian/American science fiction show Farscape (2001) as the character Jothee, and as the vampire Armand in Queen of the Damned (in 2002).
In 2002, Newton was nominated for a Logie Award for his role in the television series Changi.
