Originally from Iowa City, Iowa, Matthew Lamb is a multi-talented performer who is quickly making his mark across television, film, and theater.

Matthew currently stars as a series regular alongside Kaitlin Olson in Drew Goddard’s hit ABC
drama, “High Potential.” He plays ‘Elliot Radovic,’ the sweet, quirky and socially awkward middle child
who has inherited his mother’s active brain, for better or worse. The popular series debuted in
September 2024 as ABC’s most-watched premiere in nearly four years, with Season Three anticipated to
debut in early January 2027.

On the feature front, Matthew recently filmed his first leading role in the upcoming film, “Going
for Two,” alongside Julianne Hough. He stars as ‘Jimmy Moriarty,’ a fatherless 12-year-old boy
embarking on a quest for his “manhood” against the backdrop of a college football team’s National
Championship game in 1983.

Matthew also portrayed mischievous ‘Claude Herdman’ in Lionsgate’s hit holiday film, “The Best
Christmas Pageant Ever,” directed by Dallas Jenkins and based on Barbara Robinson’s beloved 1972
novel about the unruly Herdman siblings who unexpectedly take over their town’s Christmas pageant.
 

As a professional voiceover artist, Matthew originated the role of ‘Devon’ on Disney Jr.’s “Sofia
the First: Royal Magic,” which premiered in 2026. He has also lent his voice to commercials and a variety
of animated series for Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Nickelodeon.

A true triple threat, Matthew has an extensive theater background. He most recently starred as
‘The Little Boy’ in New York City Center’s production of “Ragtime,” which transferred to Broadway and
won the 2026 Tony Award for Best Revival. Matthew previously portrayed ‘The Little Boy’ in Signature
Theatre’s production of “Ragtime,” earning a 2024 Helen Hayes Award nomination for Outstanding
Supporting Performer.

He also performed alongside Tony winners Daniel Radcliffe, Jonathan Groff and Lindsay Mendez
as ‘Frank Jr.’ in the Off-Broadway production of “Merrily We Roll Along” at New York Theatre Workshop.
He starred as ‘Young Ray’ in regional productions of the play “Tommy & Me” alongside Emmy winner
Gordon Clapp, and has appeared in productions of “Freaky Friday,” “A Christmas Story,” “School of
Rock” and “Barnum.”

​

Originally from Iowa City, Iowa, Matthew made his television debut in Season Two of the Emmy
Award-winning series “Only Murders in the Building,” guest-starring as ‘Little Charles-Haden Savage,’
the young version of Steve Martin’s character. He made his feature film debut as ‘Jackson’ in
Paramount’s psychological supernatural horror film “Smile” and appeared alongside Academy Award
nominee Jesse Eisenberg in the drama-thriller “Manodrome,” which premiered at the 73rd Berlin
International Film Festival.

When not performing, Matthew is expanding his talents behind the camera, writing, directing
and producing his own work. His first short film, “Two Doors Down,” was shot in one continuous take
and is set to premiere in Los Angeles and online in October 2026.
