Matthew Goode

Matthew Goode is an English actor. He has appeared in films such as The Imitation Game (2014), Self/Less (2015) and has appeared in long standing TV appearances in Downtown Abbey and Season 1 of Netflix’s The Crown.

In 2017, Goode began production on a television adaptation of Deborah Harkness’s bestselling All Souls trilogy for Sky One. The show, titled A Discovery of Witches, takes its title from the series’ first book. He plays the lead role of Professor Matthew Clairmont, an Oxford molecular biologist and vampire. The show was first broadcast in the UK on 14 September 2018, and has been renewed for two more series based on the strength of its first airing in the United Kingdom where it was consistently the network’s most-watched show each week for its 8-episode run.
