Matthew Charles Porretta (born May 29, 1965) is an American television, voice, and film actor known for his appearances in Wings, Beverly Hills, 90210, and Robin Hood: Men in Tights.
His first major movie role came in 1993 when he portrayed Will Scarlet O'Hara in Mel Brooks' spoof Robin Hood: Men in Tights.
Since 2010, Porretta has been doing the voice acting for the titular character of the psychological action thriller video game franchise Alan Wake by Remedy Entertainment.
In December 2016, he was involved in a bar fight in which a customer hit the actor with a beer mug after Porretta, intoxicated after a couple of drinks, walked in the man's direction and stumbled towards him.
The attack not only resulted in cuts to his left eye and cheek but also a facial fracture and injuries to his spine and nasal septum.
The lawsuit moved forward in June 2019, and in 2023 the man accepted an offer from state prosecutors and pleaded guilty to second-degree assault.
