Early life
Matthew Charles Berry was born on 2 May 1974 in Bromham, Bedfordshire, England.[2] He is the son of Pauline Berry, a nurse (née Acreman), and Charles Berry, a taxi driver.[3] He has an older sister, Johanna.[4] His parents, though not particularly involved in the arts themselves, supported his early creative pursuits by gifting him a Hammond organ as a child, which sparked his interest in music.[5] Berry attended Nottingham Trent University, where he studied Contemporary Arts and graduated with a BA in 1997.[6] During his time at university in the 1990s, he developed a strong interest in arts and performance, joining various bands and experimenting with instruments like keyboards and guitar while singing.[7] His studies exposed him to a vibrant music scene in Nottingham, further fueling his passion for creative expression.[8] Prior to his professional debut in the entertainment industry, Berry was largely self-taught in comedy and music, drawing inspiration from childhood influences such as Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells, which he first heard around age 13.[7] Post-graduation, he honed his performance skills through practical experiences, including work as a performer at the London Dungeon, where he tested comedic timing and audience interaction.[9] These formative years laid the groundwork for his multifaceted entry into acting, writing, and music.Personal life
Berry is known for his shy and introverted personality, which stands in stark contrast to the boisterous characters he portrays on screen. In a 2014 interview, he described himself as "quite shy," noting that his more extroverted side emerges only in specific professional contexts, such as acting or performing music.[10] This reserved nature extends to his approach to publicity, where he prefers to keep personal matters private and avoids in-depth discussions on non-work topics during interviews.[11] In April 2017, Berry relocated from his home in south-east London to a larger, undisclosed residence outside the city, seeking greater space and seclusion.[12] He has emphasized his status as a "very private person" in this regard, declining to reveal the new location and expressing discomfort with public recognition tied to his distinctive voice.[12] Berry maintains no personal social media accounts, with official profiles—such as his music Instagram—used exclusively for professional updates like album releases and tour announcements.[13] His lifestyle reflects a strong emphasis on work-life balance, characterized by a focus on creative pursuits without frequent vacations or high-profile engagements. Berry has stated that he rarely takes holidays due to his packed schedule, prioritizing music recording in his home studio alongside acting commitments.[10] Public appearances are limited to industry events, allowing him to sustain a low profile amid his rising fame.[9]Career
Live-action film and television
Berry first gained prominence in live-action comedy through his roles in the cult series Garth Marenghi's Darkplace (2004), where he portrayed the hapless Dr. Lucien Sanchez, establishing his knack for eccentric, deadpan performances in surreal settings.[14] This was followed by his appearance as the pompous explorer Dixon Bainbridge in The Mighty Boosh (2004), replacing Richard Ayoade and injecting absurd physicality and booming vocal delivery into the show's whimsical narrative.[14] These early breakthroughs highlighted Berry's ability to blend over-the-top narcissism with subtle comedic timing, setting the tone for his career in British television comedy.[15] In The IT Crowd (2006–2013), Berry played Douglas Reynholm, the lecherous and comically inept CEO of Reynholm Industries, delivering lines with a signature bravado that earned him a 2007 British Comedy Award nomination for Best Male Comedy Newcomer.[14] He later took the lead as the self-absorbed actor Steven Toast in Toast of London (2013–2015), a role he co-created, showcasing his flair for portraying pompous characters through exaggerated mannerisms and voice modulation that amplified the show's satirical take on the acting world.[16] The character returned in the spin-off Toast of Tinseltown (2022), where Berry reprised Toast's misadventures in Hollywood, further emphasizing his deadpan wit in absurd scenarios.[14] Berry's recent live-action work includes his portrayal of the aristocratic vampire Laszlo Cravensworth in What We Do in the Shadows (2019–2024), where he combines physical comedy with aristocratic flair to depict a centuries-old undead nobleman navigating modern life.[16] In September 2025, Berry was announced as co-creator and star of the upcoming Sky Max series Force & Majeure, a six-part action-adventure comedy in which he plays British art thief Thomas Force alongside Natasha Lyonne; filming is set to begin in early 2026.[1] Throughout these roles, Berry has made a stylistic impact by frequently embodying pompous or absurd figures, merging physical exaggeration with vocal bravado to heighten comedic effect in live-action contexts.[15] On film, Berry delivered a notable supporting turn as the corporate executive Overmeyers in Duncan Jones's sci-fi drama Moon (2009), providing comic relief through his character's detached efficiency amid the protagonist's existential crisis.[17] Other supporting parts, such as Mr. Pumblechook in Great Expectations (2023 miniseries), have allowed him to apply his comedic timing to more dramatic ensembles, underscoring his versatility beyond television.)Voice acting
Matt Berry is renowned for his deep, velvety baritone voice, which he frequently employs to portray humorous or authoritative characters in voice-over work.[18][19] This distinctive timbre first garnered recognition in the early 2000s through commercials and sketches, including voice-overs for brands like Volvic in 2007 and Müller Corner yogurt advertisements, where his rich delivery added a layer of comedic gravitas.[20] In animated television series, Berry has lent his voice to several notable roles, particularly in adult-oriented animation. He voices Shlub, a mantitaur character, in the Fox animated sitcom Krapopolis (2023–present), created by Dan Harmon, where his performance draws on exaggerated, boisterous traits for comedic effect.[21][22] Additionally, he has made guest appearances in shows like Robot Chicken, contributing voices to various sketches, as well as roles in Archer (as Mr. Deadly in 2019) and Disenchantment (as Prince Merkimer from 2018 to 2023).[23] Berry's voice work extends to animated films, showcasing his versatility in ensemble casts. In A Minecraft Movie (2025), he provides the voice for Nitwit, a villager character involved in a subplot of escape and romance, delivering lines with his signature wry humor that impressed the director enough to consider spin-off potential.[24][25] Earlier, in The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water (2015), he voiced Bubbles, an interdimensional dolphin whose role involves pivotal plot revelations, marking one of his breakthrough international voice credits.[26][27] Beyond animation, Berry has narrated documentaries and advertisements, leveraging his authoritative tone for engaging audio experiences. He narrated the short mockumentary The Lone Wolf (2014), a satirical nature piece following wolves in a comedic hunt, and has provided voice-overs for various ads, including those for Absolute Radio and Moneysupermarket.com since 2019.[28][29] His early foray into voice work began with appearances on the video game magazine show Game Over (1998–1999) on BSkyB's .tv channel, where he contributed to segments transitioning from gaming tie-ins to broader television sketches.[30][29] Post-2010, Berry's voice has seen growing demand in international projects, often featuring parodies of classic British archetypes through his theatrical delivery. This includes voicing Moominpappa in the animated series Moominvalley (2019–present), a Finnish-British co-production, and supporting roles in global releases like The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run (2020) as King Poseidon, highlighting his appeal for cross-cultural comedic narration.[29][31]Music
Matt Berry began his music career in the mid-2000s, parallel to his acting pursuits, with the self-release of his debut album Opium in 2008 on his own Rillington Players label.[32] This early work, produced in a DIY bedroom setup, showcased raw psychedelic elements through acoustic strums and analogue experimentation, drawing from influences in psychedelic rock, folk, and electronic music.[33] Berry handled much of the production himself, reflecting a hands-on approach that defined his initial forays into recording.[7] His style evolved into an eclectic mix of hauntology—evoking nostalgic, ghostly electronics—and library music aesthetics, often infused with the quirky, thematic flair of comedy soundtracks, shaped by his broader creative output.[7] Influences from '60s Northern soul, British pastoral folk, funk, and vintage TV themes permeated his sound, as heard in subsequent releases like Witchazel (initially a 2009 free download, commercially issued in 2011 via Acid Jazz Records).[34] This album marked a pivotal shift to the Acid Jazz label, where Berry explored psych-folk hybrids and garage-rock edges, collaborating with musicians to layer synths and guitars.[35] Key milestones included his 2013 album Kill the Wolf and the 2014 instrumental Music for Insomniacs, which highlighted his growing analogue synth collection and genre-veering tendencies.[36] Berry integrated his music into live performances, embarking on tours to support albums such as Phantom Birds in 2020, which blended country-rock sincerity with his signature psychedelia and charted at number 31 in the UK.[37] These shows emphasized his multi-instrumentalist skills, often featuring self-composed themes from projects like Toast of London.[38] In recent years, collaborations have included vocalists like Kitty Liv on tracks exploring soulful psych vibes.[39] A 2025 resurgence saw renewed interest in Berry's track "Take My Hand" from Witchazel, propelled by viral trends on social media platforms.[40] This culminated in the release of his eleventh studio album Heard Noises on 24 January 2025 via Acid Jazz, which debuted at number 22 on the UK Albums Chart and delved into West Coast psych and ambient noise textures.[41][42]Writing and production
Matt Berry began his writing career in television comedy with the BBC Three sketch show Snuff Box (2006), which he co-wrote and starred in alongside Rich Fulcher.[43] The series blended dark humor and surreal sketches, drawing from their shared experiences in projects like The Mighty Boosh.[44] In 2004, Berry co-wrote the satirical rock opera AD/BC: A Rock Opera with Richard Ayoade for BBC Three, where he also composed the music and performed as the lead character.[45] This half-hour special parodied biblical narratives through absurd musical numbers, showcasing Berry's early interest in blending music with comedic storytelling.[46] Berry's most prominent writing contribution came with Toast of London (2013–2015), a Channel 4 sitcom he co-created and co-wrote with Arthur Mathews.[47] The series followed the misadventures of egotistical actor Steven Toast, earning acclaim for its surreal humor and sharp satire of the British entertainment industry.[48] Critics praised its "absurdist musical numbers" and bizarre scenarios, such as Toast's duets with hallucinatory versions of himself, describing it as "one of the best comic creations of the last 10 years."[48] Berry also composed the theme music, integrating his musical background into the show's eccentric tone. The success led to the sequel Toast of Tinseltown (2022) on BBC Two, extending the character's Hollywood escapades while maintaining the original's collaborative absurdity.[48] In recent years, Berry has expanded into production and co-creation with Force & Majeure (forthcoming on Sky), a six-part action-adventure comedy he co-created with Tom Scharpling and Natasha Lyonne.[49] The series, set to begin filming in early 2026, follows an unlikely duo—an art expert turned thief and a mercenary—combating international villains in a retro style inspired by 1970s and 1980s aesthetics.[1] Berry stars as Thomas Force alongside Lyonne, emphasizing his ongoing role in shaping narrative absurdity through collaborative writing.[49] Berry's creative approach often revolves around drawing inspiration from diverse mediums like art, photography, and music to fuel his writing process, favoring collaborative efforts that amplify British satirical elements and personal stylistic quirks.[50] He has described maintaining an archive of old ideas and sketches as key to sustaining absurd, character-driven humor without rigid boundaries.[50]Filmography
