Niall Matter (born October 20, 1980) is a Canadian actor who is probably best known for his work in Syfy original series Eureka, playing Zane Donovan.^[1]

Biography[link]

Born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, of Irish and Russian descent.^[2] Matter worked for eight years (from the age of 17 to 25) on the oil rigs in Northern Alberta. He was part of the "Nerd Crew" on the rigs, coined as such because of their obsession with healthy eating habits that included oatmeal, egg whites and spinach. After a bad accident on the rig that left Matter hospitalized and almost caused the amputation of his right leg he decided that he had had enough of the rigging lifestyle. Matter went through six months of re-rehabilitation to learn to walk again and then returned to his home in Vancouver. After lying his way into a bar tending job (that ultimately lasted for only a month) Matter booked his first lead role in the SyFy original movie 'Beyond Loch Ness'. While filming 'Loch Ness' he sent an audition to the producers of 'The Best Years' and ended up booking the role of "Trent Hamilton".

This role would propel Matter into guest star slots on the television series: 'Stargate Atlantis', 'Eureka', 'Warehouse 13' and NBC's 'Fear Itself'. It was for his role on 'Eureka' that this new comer garnered some attention and the producers decided to hire him on as a new series regular for the remaining run of the series. During this time, Matter was also attached as a series lead on the ill’ fated pilot 'Mistresses'.

After testing for the comedy, 'My Best Friends Girl', Matter earned some fans over at CBS casting and has since appeared for them as a recurring guest star on both 'Melrose Place' and the new '90210'.

His notable film credits include Zack Snyder's 'Watchmen', 'Under the Hood', 'Exley', 'Secrets of the Summer House' starring Lindsay Price, and 'Dr. Dolittle: Tail to the Chief' alongside Peter Coyote.

The correct pronunciation of his name is: Ny-ull May-ter
