Biographical Notes
editMatthew Ray Bennett was born in Toronto on April 9, 1968. He moved to Vancouver at age 20 to pursue acting, and after two years of theater school there and four more appearing on such series as The X-Files and The Commish and such telefilms as A Killer Among Friends, Anything for Love and Relentless: Mind of a Killer, he returned to his hometown where he become one of the industry's busiest actors.
Bennett, who currently plays Steward Harrison on the USA Network's hit series Peacemakers, starred as James Calley, head of a special police internal-affairs unit, on the Showtime (and Canadian ON TV) series Total Recall: 2070, as well as in the 1998 telefilm of that name. He has guested on such series as UC: Undercover, Seven Days, Due South, the Canadian hit Da Vinci's Inquest and the SciFi Channel series Stargate SG-1 ("Point of No Return," "Ethon"). His films include Far from Home: The Adventures of Yellow Dog, Pushing Tin, Ignition and Stealing Sinatra.
Bennett is married to "his best friend," actress Brittaney Bennett (formerly billed as Brittaney Edgell), who has appeared on such SF series as Highlander, Forever Knight and Earth: Final Conflict.
On Battlestar Galactica
editBennett was cast as the humanoid Cylon Aaron Doral after initially auditioning for the role of Dr. Gaius Baltar.[Book 1] Much like his co-star Tricia Helfer, Bennett doesn’t view his Cylon alter ego as a villainous character. “Aaron Doral is doing the right thing as far as he’s concerned,” he explains. “He certainly doesn’t view himself as a bad guy. He can seem cold and creepy and calculated at times, but he’s simply on a mission to do what he thinks is right.”[Book 2]
A fan of the Original Series as a child, Bennett was excited to be cast in the remake and to work with director Michael Rymer. Reflecting on the first season, he stated, “I didn’t get to do as much as I would have liked on season one, but I enjoyed every day I worked on the show, and I feel the show itself is just fantastic. They’re exploring some incredible ideas.”[Book 3]
