The Dashing Matt Lanter

The dashing Matt Lanter is featured on another magazine cover, this time it's Bello Mag issue #26.  Not only is Matt Lanter on the cover, inside the magazine there is a really nice photo spread and interview.  I think it is safe to say that the camera loves him.  Click on the pictures to enlarge to read the articles.

Photo Update

It's been quite some time since I've updated the blog. Matt has been quite busy as well. From venturing to Tahiti for a Mark Mann photo shoot to filming parts of his new movie Liars all in London to Disney World for Star Wars weekends where he is currently at this weekend, Matt has been jetting all over the world. So here is a major photo update of some of what Matt has been doing since the season finale of 90210 and some bonus pics.

Matt Lanter on the 90210 Season

This week was the season finale of 90210 that left us all wondering if Liam will return.  After a disappointing season that had a total lack of Liam we can't help but wonder what the future of Matt's character is.  While we were all saying that we would have liked to see more of Liam's story and explore the history of the character, apparently, Matt Lanter also want to see a little more of Liam.  We could agree more with him.  Here's to hoping that Liam will return next season because if he doesn't I may just lose interest in the show.  Here is the interview Matt gave prior to the airing of the season finale.

Matt Lanter Drops Some Knowledge About the 90210 Finale 


Matt Lanter, 90210Poor Matt Lanter. If only he were more attractive, we'd probably see so much more of him on 90210.
Just kidding, he's completely hot and happily dealing with some pretty crazy storylines for his character Liam. Tonight, the third season of 90210 wraps up, with an ending that will surely set up the group's transition to college. But as Matt tells us, the season finale is going to be anything but drama free for Liam and the rest of the gang.
And that's just the way we like our 90210 episodes...

How have you felt about Liam's story arc over the course of the season?
Matt Lanter:
I would have liked to see Liam's story develop a bit more this season. Yes, we saw Liam struggle with the relationship with his stepbrother Charlie (Evan Ross) for a couple episodes and he dealt with crazy drug-dealing Laura, and of course his relationship ups and downs with Annie (Shenae Grimes), but there could be so much more to him and I'd love to see that happen next season.

First Look at 90210's Graduation Day





Prior to shooting their May 16 season finale graduation episode, many of the 90210 actors had never worn a cap and gown. "I did graduate from high school, but I never got to do the whole walk across the stage and receive your diploma thing," says Shenae Grimes, whose Annie hopes to attend Carnegie Mellon in the fall. "I think it was a first for almost half our cast."

"Even though it was fake, it took me back to my own graduation--with the robes, throwing up the hats and the feeling of the unknown," says Lanter.

The question now: Will these grads make it to the fictitious California University, attended by their Beverly Hills, 90210 predecessors? That's up to The CW. "We don't know what's happening to the characters or even if we're coming back at all," says Matt Lanter (Liam). "So it's actually an appropriate ending, with a lot of the characters left in a positive way."

The Man Behind Lego Anakin

When my brother told me that Matt Lanter actually recorded the grunts and sounds that come out of the Lego Anakin on Lego Star Wars III I didn't believe him.  Well turns out good ole Matt did indeed do the voice recording for the character and I found video evidence proving it.  It's funny watching the facial expressions as he makes the sounds and it makes watching the video clips in the video game even that more funny.  Matt apparently excels regardless what type of work he is doing, whether it's him on the screen, or just his voice, or even just noises, he is good at what he does.  This guy is talented on so many levels, it's almost ridiculous, almost...


 

Q + A with Matt Lanter

Here's an interview from back in February, it is a little over a month old, but still a good one so I thought I would share.

Woodsy's World of Star Wars: My Q+A w/Clone Wars Actor Matt Lanter!




Matt Lanter plays the voice of all things Anakin in The Clone Wars. He also plays bad boy Liam in 90210. I first met Matt at last year's Star Wars Celebration in "Lando" Florida where I interviewed him for MTV Geek. I immediately felt a strong connection since he worked with Carrie Fisher in the movie Sorority Row. That lucky dawg!
Let's have a quick touch base with Matt as he discusses the dark side of Anakin, his golf game and his Princess Leia buns photo session denial! *Somehow* I'll recover...

LW - You play the role of Anakin in Clone Wars. How has it been seeing such an emotional change in Anakin this season, as he begins to dip into the dark side? Anything about upcoming season 4 you can give us?
ML - It's pretty cool. As a fan, I think it's amazing that we are getting to explore this time in Anakin's life. We never really got to see the gradual progression of Anakin's slide towards the dark side. It wasn't sudden. It was years of being pushed and pulled in different directions by the Jedi order and by Palpatine. Combine those factors with some of the tragic events that he has experienced in his life and you may see more clearly why he slipped to the dark side. We really get to add huge pieces to the Star Wars puzzle with these recent episodes. Season 4 will continue on with darker moments like we have just seen in the "Mortis" arc, bringing Anakin closer and closer to Darth Vader.

LW - You also play the voice of Anakin in Star Wars Legos game. My mom got me that for Christmas, got any hot tips for me?
ML - I haven't played it yet!

LW - Twitter told me that occasionally you come to NYC. What are some of your favorite things to do here?
ML - I do have a tremendous appreciation for NYC! It's so alive all of the time. I really haven't spent enough time there to tell you where my favorite hang outs are but I do love Central Park. It's like this oasis in the middle of the city. So unique.

LW - So Matt, we haven’t spoken since Star Celebration V last August. Any fond memories of Celebration come to mind, besides me of course, that you’d like to share?
ML - Celebration is always a blast! It's just fun to be there with the rest of the cast and crew from The Clone Wars and, of course, all of the fans. Everyone is just happy to be there sharing in something we all love. I do have to say, seeing everyone dressed up in these crazy costumes and the length they go to is just incredible. That’s probably one of my favorite parts.

LW - I see your birthday is coming up on April 1st! Happy early birthday Matt! Got any big plans or do you think your buddies have any April fools plans for you?
ML - Thanks. Funny enough, I really haven't had any jokes played on me in the last several years. Maybe it's just because I'm an adult now and adults don't care about April fools....at least that's the feeling that I get.

LW - Last time we spoke, we talked about your golf game. Had any great shots lately? Ever use the Force to move the ball around when you get frustrated?
ML - No I'm strictly forbidden from using the Force to better my golf game. Of course, I've had some great shots...every time I play. Unfortunately, I have more bad shots than good so the game continues to frustrate me.

LW - And I see The Roommate just came out, congrats!! So I’ve been hearing some buzz about this steamy sex scene. Have any idea what everyone’s talking about?
ML - I might. It's kinda of kinky and morbid all at the same time... You'll just have to see it.

LW - So normally, Matt, I end my Q+A w/my fellow Jedi trying on my Princess Leia buns for a nice photo. Since we’re conducting this Q+A on opposite coasts the Force may not be with me on this. But if you were here in NYC, you would try the buns on for me, wouldn’t you?
ML - Hmm I think I'll pass on that offer. I can't imagine Star Wars fans would be too happy to see The Chosen One rocking the Leia buns. Something about that just wouldn't be right. Or at least that’s my excuse. :)
