MiniBio

Matthew, often affectionately known as Matt, was one of the talented Lawrence brothers who made a name for himself in Hollywood during his teenage years. Though he was four years younger than his older brother Joey, it wasn’t long before Matthew stepped into the spotlight and eventually took over as one of America’s most beloved teen idols just as Joey transitioned into adulthood. With his signature shy demeanor, warm broad smile, thick eyebrows, and that effortlessly floppy hair, Matthew had a charm that resonated with fans across the country. Just like his brother Joey, Matthew started performing at a young age, showing early signs of a promising career. Alongside his younger brother Andy, the three Lawrence siblings starred together in the heartwarming sitcom Brotherly Love, which aired first on NBC from 1995 to 1996 and later moved to The WB for its second season. In the show, Matthew played a slightly anxious and unfocused teen—the half-brother of Joey—who experiences a mix of emotions when Joey decides to return home and help manage the family garage left behind by their late father. Throughout it all, Matthew brought authenticity and relatability to his role, further solidifying his place in pop culture. As time went on, Matthew continued to grow—not just as an actor, but as a public figure who many looked up to. And even as years passed, fans still remember the impact Matthew had during those formative years of television.
