Matthew Ray Bennett may have been born in Toronto but he moved to Vancouver when he was 20. Part of the attraction to Canada’s west coast was the active lifestyle available year-round. He is an avid skier, and can be found on the mountains of British Columbia in the winter and, when there`s no snow, he’s usually running the local trails. In addition to a keen interest in both architectural and industrial photography, Matthew Bennett spends as much time as he can in the movie theatre with partner Brittaney Bennett. He was nominated for both a Gemini and Leo award for his work as Detective Len Harper on the series Cold Squad.
