Biography

Matthew Lyn Lillard (born January 24, 1970) is an American actor, director, and producer. His early film roles include the black comedy Serial Mom (1994) and the crime thriller Hackers (1995). He achieved a career breakthrough for his portrayal of Stu Macher in the slasher film Scream (1996), which bolstered Lillard into the mainstream. Afterwards, he starred in prominent roles in SLC Punk! (1998), She's All That (1999), Thirteen Ghosts (2001), and Without a Paddle (2004).

Lillard portrayed Norville "Shaggy" Rogers in the live-action movies Scooby-Doo (2002) and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004), and became the official animated voice of the character following Casey Kasem's retirement from the role in 2009. Starting in the 2010s, he was frequently cast in dramatic roles in films such as The Descendants (2011), Trouble with the Curve (2012), Match (2014), and Twin Peaks: The Return (2017). He also starred in the NBC series Good Girls (2018–2021).

Lillard gained renewed recognition in the 2020s for playing William Afton in the horror film Five Nights at Freddy's (2023) and its 2025 sequel. He has since starred in the film The Life of Chuck (2025), the Disney+ series Daredevil: Born Again (2026), and the horror miniseries Carrie (2026).
