Matt is a minor character in the series True Blood. Played by actor Brian Poth, Matt was first introduced in the series' sixth season and returned for the series' seventh, and final, season. He is a gay vampire and a friend of Holly's. Probably due to his southern roots, Matt has been shown to be a gentleman, carrying himself in a poised, respectable and innocuous fashion. He treats his fellow Bon Temps residents (human and supes alike) with respect, but is somewhat of a gossip and may take offense to rudeness. He is non-violent and is shown to be a good neighbor.
