Matty Cardarople has always wanted to be an entertainer. Born and raised in Exeter, New Hampshire, Cardarople fueled his creative passion by entertaining friends and family with his comedic skills. After moving to Los Angeles he studied acting at The Beverly Hills Playhouse and has been perfecting his craft studying with Lesly Kahn. Ultimately Cardarople was discovered by Luke and Owen Wilson who gave him his career start with roles in the feature films Blonde Ambition and Drillbit Taylor.

Cardarople went on to appear in the blockbuster hit Jurassic World and Dumb and Dumber To, where he worked with his childhood idol Jim Carrey whom he cites as his career inspiration. Cardarople quickly continued to add to his credits with roles in the indie comedy The 4th, the critically-acclaimed Amazon rom-com The Big Sick and the Steven Soderbergh directed film Logan Lucky.

Cardarople got another big break with a starring role in the hit Netflix show A Series of Unfortunate Events, as Orlando, the "Hench Person of Indeterminate Gender" in the Troupe of Count Olaf played by Neil Patrick-Harris. The series is streaming now and is a favorite of audiences and critics alike. And as his impressive success continues, Cardarople can be seen in the highly-talked about second and third season of the Netflix instant classic Stranger Things.

He also stars as Noodle in the Netflix comedy film Wheels of Fortune alongside actors Matt Jones (Breaking Bad), Jeff Fahey, Noureen DeWulf, and John Ducey. The film follows a down-on-his-luck mechanic and his best friend as they head to competitions to win a big inheritance.

Recently Cardarople can be heard as the voice of Preston in Archibald's Next Big Thing streamable on Netflix. Cardarople continues to keep busy with roles such as Roger in Lazy Susan, Roy Meyer in I Am Woman, and Frank White in the Hulu anthology series Monsterland. He has also been cast as Ansel in the Taika Waititi project Reservation Dogs, Remy in "Made for Love", and the upcoming Netflix animated series "We Lost Our Human" alongside Ben Schwartz.

Things aren't slowing down for Cardarople, he can be seen in the blockbuster hit Free Guy alongside Ryan Reynolds. The film is "Certified Fresh" on Rotten Tomatoes. Coming up next, he will also play Clay Elliot, a young inattentive father in the romance thriller American Cherry from writer/director Marcella Cytrynowicz.

Cardarople has been seen on notable television shows such as New Girl, Angie Tribeca, Scrubs, Ray Donovan, You're The Worst, Comedy Bang! Bang! Selfie and Chasing Life.

Cardarople is accomplished in other arenas as well. He spends time drawing and writing poetry; his first self-published book of poems is titled Space Cadet and he just released his second titled Happy Birthday Everyday which both are available for purchase online. When not on set, Cardarople devotes his efforts to a number of worthy causes such as the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Lady Gaga's Born This Way Foundation, and local animal shelters.

Cardarople currently resides in Los Angeles with his wife, cats and a rescue pomeranian named Azoun.
