This role catapulted Matt into the limelight, and fans eagerly anticipated his future endeavors. However, after the series ended, Matt seemed to fade from the public eye. Over a decade since the series finale of Victorious, many are still curious about the talented actor’s journey. Read on to discover what happened to Matt Bennett.
Matt’s Acting Journey
Born and raised in New York, Matt Bennett didn’t come from an entertainment background but developed a passion for performing early on. He began his career with commercials, showcasing his natural talent for being in front of the camera. As a teenager, Matt decided to pursue acting seriously. His on-screen debut came in 2009 with the TV movie Totally for Teens. The following year, he landed the role of Robbie Shapiro in Victorious, which would define his early career.

After Victorious ended in 2013, Matt continued acting, albeit in smaller roles. In 2018, he landed a significant part in the series American Vandal. However, his acting career slowed down as he shifted his focus to music.

Additionally, Matt runs a YouTube channel where he shares content related to his music career. With 100,000 subscribers and over four million total views, his channel continues to grow. While it’s unclear when he’ll release another full-length project, Matt appears to be enjoying life, as evidenced by his Instagram profile, where he shares moments with family and friends, as well as his travels and reading adventures.
What’s Next For Matt?
Currently, Matt doesn’t seem to have any upcoming acting roles lined up. However, it’s likely that we’ll see him on our screens again in the future. For now, Matt’s primary focus appears to be his music, and fans eagerly await his next project.
