More About Matt Cohen
Matt Cohen grew up in South Florida where he played football and track in high school and also graduated with a 3.8 GPA. After high school, he studied business at Florida State, where he also took some theatre classes. He then decided that he wanted to become an actor, so he moved out to LA and started to pursue his dream. 10 months after moving out to LA he went and booked a lead role as the sensitive jock, Aiden Dennison on South of Nowhere. Since then he has guest-starred on various shows such as The OC, Medium, and Supernatural.
He has also been in a few movies including one of the lead roles in “Boogeyman 2”. He also played a high school student in “South of Nowhere” between 2005 and 2008, where he met his longtime girlfriend, fiancée, and mother of their son, Macklin Cohen, Mandy Musgrave.
On the difference between himself and his character Aiden Dennison on “South of Nowhere” he has been quoted as saying: “I guess I would handle some situations a bit differently. He tends to be a bit more relaxed in certain situations. In the first season, he’s definitely got the bad hand in a couple of fistfights, which I’m not a big fighter but I found that very unrealistic. I would hope that I would be able to defend myself a little better than Aiden does”.
