If you're a fan of films aimed directly at the 15-25 set, you've likely seen Matthew Lillard a few times. From starring as Shaggy in both live action Scooby Doo flicks, to playing the killer in Scream, to recently getting stuck Up a Creek with Seth Green, Lillard has tended toward zany comedy roles in Hollywood features. He's done his best work in indie films like SLC Punk, where he convincingly plays a rich-kid trying to live a punk rock life on the streets of 19080's Salt Lake City. At the Seattle International Film Festival, Matthew Lillard was on hand to introduce two films he appears in, The Groomsmen and Bickford Shmeckler's Cool Ideas, the first a drama about friendship and maturity on the cusp of a wedding and the second a wacky comedy about a geeky kid who loses his notebook on the college campus. Matthew talks about his career, choosing roles and an upcoming project he plans to produce and direct in Seattle, WA.
