Matt Austin

Matt Austin is an actor, writer and director. He finished in the top of his class in both Journalism and Film Studies at the University of Western Ontario, then returned to Toronto to study film at both Centennial College and Humber College. His performance in Shawn Postoff’s short film Coming to Terms has been screened at over 30 International film festivals, broadcast on CBC and earned a Best Male Performance award at The Manitoba Film Festival and the Yorkton Short Film Festival. He plays Bridge Carson, aka Green SPD Ranger, in the Disney series, Power Rangers. The 2006 film titled Catch and Release is a 14-minute short, and should not be confused with the identically titled Jennifer Garner film which was also released in 2006, shot in Canada, and featured many Canadian actors.
