In 2023, Matt played the titular role in ITV drama The Hunt For Raoul Moat.
Speaking about preparing for the role of killer Moat, he told ITV: "Normally when it’s TV you get something like two weeks’ notice that you’re going to be doing something.
"But this was quite rare. I got a few months’ notice because they wanted me to physically change.
"That began the period of Raoul Moat almost living in our house effectively because I was reading every book I could read and going on dog walks with voice recordings of his playing in my ears. Going to the gym twice a day.
“When they finally said, ‘Yes, it’s going ahead,’ you’d normally go out and celebrate.
"This was different because I didn’t have any time to spare.
"I had to start getting stuck into playing the role both physically and psychologically and in terms of my education about him.
"Every single day had to be working towards playing him on screen. Which was very tiring."
