Born in Washington, D.C., Matt grew up in Arlington, Virginia, the son of Frederick W. Clark, a boat builder and cabinet maker, and Theresa (Costello) Clark, owner and director of a private school in Arlington.

Following a two-year stint in the army, Matt attended George Washington University, but dropped out to join a local Washington, D.C. theatre group. He moved to New York in the mid-50's and studied acting at the HB Studio with Herbert Berghof and William Hickey.

After working at the famous Living Theater and starring in several off-Broadway plays, he moved to California to begin his film career. Matt has appeared in more than 50 feature films, in addition to countless television movies and TV series. He directed Da (1988), starring Bernard Hughes, Martin Sheen, and Clark's old acting teacher, William Hickey.

Clark is the father of 4 children: Matthias Clark (musician), Jason Clark (producer), Seth Clark (film editor) and Aimée Clark (producer).
