You know him as Timmy, the comical hip hop white boy in the online sitcom Nobody's Listening, but there's much more to this young actor than meets the eye.

Although he's a senior Criminal Justice major, Mat Ferriter is not looking for a job booking criminals.  He'd much rather be booking bands, or at least recording them in his production studio.  His company Ruthless Chicken has been recording musicians of all styles over the last five years, including the rap group DJ Dildo & Spankaweed.  He's also working on several CDs which contain a wide range of musical styles from techno to Irish folk music.

Having performed on stage as both a musician and actor, he was recently cast in a co-starring role in the Civil War drama/thriller Kill The Messenger where he'll be playing a Confederate spy.  Mat will be on the other side of the camera this summer as he directs a short film he wrote called Str8 Fuct, which will be shot on Super 8.
