Matthew Ferguson was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Being a Canadian, I have a healthy respect for that. He attended the Claude Watson School for the Performing Arts and performed in regional and community theatre until he made his debut at 16 in "Geometry of Venice." So, he's a young talent. I bet he has a stage mom.
