Matt Yang King is the winner of the CAPE/Hollywood Foreign Press Young Screenwriters Award and the creator, writer and director of The World of Steam; a Twilight Zone-like web series set in a Steampunk universe. Born in New York City, King began playing violin at the age of 5 and started studying Aikido at age 8, twin disciplines that would lead to a lifelong love of music and martial arts. His love of performance and acting would ultimately lead him to NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. After leaving school King left acting to study Zen while sweeping mats in a dojo, and then working as a broker's assistant on Wall Street. Through a series of strangely coincidental events King found himself in the Broadway Show Titanic: The Musical, where he ended up touring around 38 of the 50 states, eventually landing in Los Angeles 486 shows later.King has appeared on numerous TV shows, as a series regular on the shows Washington Field (2009) and GI Joe: Renegades (2010), and guest starring on everything from Friends to Bones, Frasier to 24. He is most noted for his long running roles on Strong Medicine as Dr. Matt Lin, and on Numb3rs as Agent Matt Li. King is also widely known for his iconic voice work in many movies, television shows, and video games. His characterization of Nicky "Tunnel Rat" Lee on GI Joe: Renegades (2010) was nominated for a BVTVA Television Voice Acting Award. King recurs on the show 'Powers' with Sharlto Copley (2015). Hide
