| Matthew Lillard mini-bio: Lillard is part of a cadre of young actors who found success in popular teen films of the 1990s. During his childhood, his family relocated to Pittsburgh, Detroit, Brighton (Michigan) and finally Tustin, California where he completed high school. Then he attended the American Academy of dramatic arts in Pasadena. In 1989, Lillard was chosen to host Nickelodeon's short-live SK8 TV program. In 1991 he moved to New York to attend The Circle In The Square Theatrical School. After a two-year stint at the prestigious school, he landed a small role in John Waters' dark suburban comedy Serial Mom(1994).  Lillard's breakthrough came in major role in 1996's Scream. Playing a homiciadal teen, his performance in the critically and commercially successful film led to a string of big-budget appearances, including Wing Commander (1999), She's All That (1999), and Thirteen Ghosts (2001). Lillard also turned in a well-recieved performance as Stevo, a lovingly satirized rebel in an all-too-straight Salt Lake City, in the indie film SLC Punk!  Lillard has founded several other theater groups including Mean Streets Ensemble (1990-1991), Summoners Ensemble (1994-1997), and Blue Sphere Alliance (1997-present).
