American actor and model Matthew Noszka is well recognized for his role in the television series “Star.” Matthew was an athlete growing up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he was born and reared. Matthew played basketball in high school because he was motivated by his grandfather’s love of the game. He developed his abilities over time and wanted to play basketball professionally. In addition to pursuing a business degree, he enrolled in a performing arts program at college. After graduating, he began working on a construction site. An agent from the reputable firm “Wilhelmina Models” found him on Instagram. A few days later, he received an opportunity to participate in a “Nike” modeling campaign after being requested to submit a few more pictures. After that, he walked the runway for numerous designers and signed deals to serve as a model for other well-known companies. Before landing his first job as a guest star in the 2017 television series “Tales,” he had months of fruitless auditions. Then, in 2018, he starred in the television series “Star,” which ended up being his big break.
Early Life & Childhood
On October 27, 1992, Matthew Noszka was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to middle-class parents. He was of Swedish, Spanish, Polish, and Irish ancestry. His dad was employed at a building site. Stanley Noszka, Matthew’s grandfather, was a professional basketball player who was a member of the “Boston Celtics.” Stanley also served as a representative in the “Pennsylvania State Senate” for a spell. Matthew was always interested in sports and fitness because he was an athletic boy growing up. He started playing basketball in school, much like his grandfather, and he was quite excellent at it. All he wanted to do as a child was play basketball.
Matthew struggled academically. When he was eleven years old, his mother was given a breast cancer diagnosis. For the family, especially Matthew who had always been a “mama’s boy,” this was a very trying time. Enrolling to “Chartiers Valley High School,” Matthew continued to pursue his passion for basketball. He had TJ McConnell as a teammate and was a star on the high school squad. Currently, TJ plays basketball professionally for the “Philadelphia 76ers.” Due to his poor academic performance, he had trouble getting into the universities of his choosing.
He was able to secure a sports scholarship and enroll in “Point Park University.” In college, he took performing arts classes in addition to his business studies. He was aware that in order to be taken into consideration for future “NBA” selections, he needed to have a strong junior season. Matthew began working with his father at a construction site during the summer break. The father-son team successfully constructed a deck, and Matthew shared a photo of it on “Instagram,” completely oblivious to the profound impact that one photo would have on his life.
Matthew Noszka’s Career
When Luke Simone, an agency, saw the picture, he was struck by Matthew’s attractiveness and robust physique. Luke reached out to him right away. Before that, Matthew had never given modeling a second thought. Matthew was still a college student in 2014 when Luke got in touch with him. A reputable agency named “Wilhelmina Models” contacted him to New York City after requesting a few more photos from him. He got hired after a face-to-face tryout. A few days later, Matthew received an opportunity to participate in a campaign for “Nike,” one of the top manufacturers of athletic gear, accessories, and footwear worldwide.
But initially, it was not a simple task for him. The “Nike” photo session went well. But after his agency contacted a few more businesses, Matthew was not accepted. He was asked to shed thirty pounds, given his bulky build.
But Matthew’s modeling career benefited greatly from having such a major break at the beginning of his career. He had numerous additional opportunities to model for clothing companies like Express, American Eagle, Joe’s Jeans, Abercrombie & Fitch, and Ports 1961.
Additionally, he has frequently modeled for high-end fashion labels like Philipp Plein, Balmain, and Moschino. In just two years after joining the business, his fame skyrocketed, making him one of the most sought-after models.
A number of well-known publications, including “GQ,” “Esquire,” and “CR Fashionbook,” soon contacted him. More recently, in 2017, he and well-known musician Rihanna were highlighted in Harper’s Bazaar.
In addition, he has simultaneously appeared in other international magazines, including “DA MAN,” “MMSCENE,” and “L’Optimum.” Models Jourdan Dunn and Sophia Ritchie were included in the “Wonderland” Winter 2016–2017 issue with him. He was included in an eight-page magazine photo editorial with other models. Christian Oita, a renowned fashion photographer, took the picture.
Additionally, he completed an exclusive photo shoot for the magazine “Reflex” while modeling in the Czech Republic. He was featured on the cover of the magazine for the first time in 2015, during his picture shoot with “Reflex.” He most recently made an appearance in their spring 2017 special issue. In 2015, as his fame grew, he received an invitation to appear on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” His popularity grew as a result of this. During his appearance on “ABC News Nightline,” he was questioned regarding his incredible rise in the business.
Additionally, he has ties to well-known clothing brands including Tom Ford, Hugo Boss, and Calvin Klein. On Instagram, he has amassed more than 800 thousand followers. He soon began receiving offers for movies and television shows. That being said, he didn’t think he was very good at acting. Although he had taken acting lessons in college, he had no desire to pursue a career in acting. He attended multiple auditions over the course of several months before making his acting debut in the 2017 drama series “Tales.” In the “F*ck the Police” episode of the show, he made an appearance as “Brody.”
In 2018, he secured a significant breakthrough in his acting career when he was cast in a recurring role on the musical drama series “Star.” He played the part of aspiring musician “Jackson Ellis.” In the third season of the show, his character became one of the primary ones. As the sole male model employed by “Women 360,” he is currently under their management. He is the owner of “412 Motorsports,” a posh auto customizing and auto repair business located in Los Angeles. In addition, he is connected to the “REVIVE Project,” an organization he founded with his pals Josh Higgins and Jake Sieber.
Matthew’s Individual Life
As he puts it, Matthew Noszka is a “mama’s boy.” He feels that his profession’s greatest drawback is that it requires him to travel frequently, which limits the amount of time he can spend with his mother. In honor of his father’s 60th birthday, he gave him a truck. Nicholas Sparks is a writer and filmmaker who Matthew really admires. In his acting classes in college, he practiced lines from Nicholas’s film “Dear John.”
