Matt Austin

[Cyborg]

There is an government-funded ad about NetAlert, a program (both computer & non-computer) about the protection & education of children on-line.

In the scene whilst the camera is panning from one room in a house to another room, as they stop on the last room before switching to a police sting operation command centre, the "kid" that is speaking is actually an adult who's posing as a child. Said adult is (whom I believe:question:) is Matt Austin.

I can't put up screenshots as I've never been lucky enough to be recording anything on TV when the ad shows, and my DVD/HDD Recorder takes it's damn sweet time reving up to do recording, so by the time it's ready the ad's finished.:straightface:

EDIT; Note: This ad has only run on Australian TV as it is an Australian-made ad about an Australian program made for Australian families by the Australian Government.

[Fury Diamond]

What channel did you see it on? :)

[Bridgey]

I was gonna ask the same thing... Would it already be on youtube? and if it was was Matt, He would've posted it on his Myspace, facebook and his website...

[Cyborg]

It often runs on Fox8 for those with Foxtel/Austar (Sattellite/Cable PayTV). As for youtube, I have no idea if it is or isn't.

[Bridgey]

Fox8???? What....?

[terrierlee]

Wasn't Matt Austin also in a Diet Coke commercial?

[Cyborg]

Fox8 is one of the many channels on Foxtel/Austar for those who pay for the service. The most likely reason for its name was it's the 8th channel on Foxtel, ergo Fox8.

Not Diet.... It was a coke Zero Commercial

[terrierlee]

Well, there's so many different brands of Coca Cola nowadays that I stopped keeping track *shrug* It's all the same to me.

[Markus]

Here is the Coke Zero commercial....

Thanks, Markus, I've been looking everywhere for that video. His official site had the wrong link up.

[Doggy Kruger]

Hahahahhaha! That was a bridge moment right there

[zoloenel]

So I had to read this book in English and well this book is also a movie and Matt Austin is in it. I was watching it and said in my head 'That looks like Matt Austin'.When the credits ran I saw Matt Austin in it and I was like 'I was right.' The movie is called A Separate Peace.It was made in 2004 (a year before SPD).It was a Showtime movie.

Matt Austin (Power Rangers SPD) appears as a soldier named Kid in the movie Time Bomb.

The movie will be available on DVD on July 1st, Courtesy of Peace Arch Entertainment. Here is the synopsis for the movie:

"Jason (Jake Busey) tragically lost his young son when their SUV exploded. Now fighting as a soldier in Iraq, the suicide bombings that occur around him on a daily basis constantly remind him of losing his son. An army scientist approaches Jason about an experimental virus that would create a squad of suicide bombers they could use against the enemy. Unsure if he has already been infected by the virus, Jason must struggle to decipher which explosions are real and which are all in his head.

[BlueSenturion]

That reminds me of Collateral Damage, americo-iraq way :p

[Mr. Silver]

Not really big on war movies, but I'll give it a chance since Matt AKA "Buttery" is in it.

[Rhino Ranger]

You can see clips of Matt's appearance in this movie in his demo reel on his website.

As my little cousin was watching his Saturday morning kid's stuff, there happened to be a cooking show for kids on... and to my surprise Matt Austin (Bridge Carson/Power Rangers SPD Green) was one of the hosts.

Here's the IMDB page: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1253286/

what channel was this on!!! and what time was it on????

[The_Emperor]

It's on TVO in their kids programming block... you might want to check their website. I'm not sure what time it's on as I don't watch the channel normally. I caught it on a Saturday morning so you might want to check in on that channel every once in a while on Saturday mornings...

EDIT: I just checked my online TV guide and it's on Sundays now @ 11:30am. Also Mondays @ 5pm. There might be other times but I'm not sure. And I just realized I missed it an hour ago. :sad:

The TV guide description mentions sushi... I wonder if they made buttery sushi! :lol:

[DarkAssassin]

Too bad I'm not in Canada

[Hears All]

I gotta check this out one day!

[The_Emperor]

Did a search on YouTube out of boredom and happened to find this video...

[Ivlander]

Nice. I almost didn't recognize him.

[Aeon87]

[giaforever76]

[The_Emperor]

This commercial has been on for quite a while now already... in fact, I don't think it even shows anymore.

But still a great commercial nonetheless... :)

[Ryan Steele]

[Super Jeff]

[Warrior Red]

They should have had him do something like that in SPD.

[Mr. CD]

This hasn't been posted here?


A low-budget documentary about the late director John Hughes is set for international release after its rights were bought, reports say.
Trade magazine Variety said Alliance Films of Montreal agreed the deal shortly after the news broke of the film-maker's death last week.
Directed by actor and film-maker Matt Austin-Sadowski, Don't You Forget About Me takes a look at Hughes' life.
The title comes from the Simple Minds song featured in The Breakfast Club.

Hughes, who died at the age of 59, made hit teen movies such as Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Home Alone and Planes, Trains and Automobiles.
Austin-Sadowski, who starred in the Power Rangers: SPD TV series, said Hughes' films had a huge impact on him when he was in school.
"He inspired me as a person, going through an awkward adolescence, as many people do," he told Variety.

"He took affairs of the heart very seriously, and no other director gave teenagers that sort of treatment at that time."

The film was made before Hughes' death and Austin-Sadowski said he is hoping it will boost people's interests in the director's films.
"That's what's important to us. It's not the deal. It's not more exposure for us," he said.

Actors who participated in the documentary included Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson, Mia Sara, Kelly LeBrock and Andrew McCarthy.
Molly Ringwald, who found fame in Hughes' The Breakfast Club and Pretty in Pink, refused to take part in the project.

Cool of him to do a documentary for John:D

[Hears All]

This is gonna be pretty big, hopefully it good reviews

[Deker]

As a wise man once said, one door closes, and a new movie opens. In other words, expect new films about Michael Jackson and John Hughes -- very shortly.

Late Monday, within hours of a court approval that paved the way for new footage of Jackson to reach the big screen, Sony Pictures Entertainment released details on a film called "This Is It," which will open Oct. 30, according to the Los Angeles Times. Just when you're wondering how Sony will tiptoe around such a sensitive situation, it turns out, well, it won't. Portions of the film -- from rehearsals and backstage preparations for Jackson's "This Is It" tour -- will be released in 3-D.

As for Hughes, Alliance Films has agreed to distribute "Don't You Forget About Me," a documentary directed by Matt Austin-Sadowski, a former actor whose biggest credit was playing the Green Ranger on the "Power Rangers" TV series. His film, which had been in the works for years, was looking for a buyer. The morning after Hughes died, Alliance made Austin-Sadowski an offer, Variety reported. There is no release date yet, but the film includes interviews with Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson, Andrew McCarthy, and Simple Minds, whose song "Don't You (Forget About Me)" was immortalized by "The Breakfast Club."

[Beast King]

Call me an idiot or dumb, but how does this relate to PR discussion? Its more of an off-topic thing.

[Psychosilver]

tis true, but even so, why are we still talking about Michael Jackson, John Hughes was recent, but Michael is a while ago. He was a good artist, but it's done and over...

[O.92]

Moved to off topic.

[Deker]

I guess people didn't read the bolded part. :/

[Mr. CD]

Meh, I'll merge it with the other thread.

[The_Emperor]

I was just looking at the news and the name "Matt Austin" sprung to my attention...

Here's a video interview with Matt Austin (Bridge Carson, Power Rangers SPD) from City News, a local station in Toronto.

He's such a cool great person, good for him and all his work..!!

[Aeon87]

Matt Austin Director? Hmm wonder if he'll direct any upcoming pr series

[Bridgey]

Matt Austin is now a host of a Kids cooking like show. I found out yesterday while watching it with my cousin. I freaked. Bridge Carson, a cook. Yep.

[PRGirl08]

I've seen that show on tv a few times on the weekend. It's real fun to watch. :)

[Mr. White]

The vid doesn't work.... here I found another one...

Demo Reel

[IronRanger]

...Oh god why? Does he at least do the "buttery" mannerism a minimum of once per episode? Not necessarily in reference to butter, but maybe something sour/spicy/tangy, etc.

[HenshinRider]

What buttery reference? It was only in the SPD footage.

[IronRanger]

That's what I'm asking about. I assume this show's run has been after SPD, right? So the "buttery reference" hand motion could be used. What I was saying that he could do the hand motion not just when talking about butter/buttery tastes, but even "spicy, salty, soury, tangy", etc, all kinds of tastes. Just as long as he does the hand motion.

[Digifiend]

Yeah, it was 2008.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0042468/

And I see he played an attendant in Desperate Housewives - the episode is called The Glamorous Life.
And also a Secret Service Agent in Aaron Stone's finale Mutant Rain part 2.

[iThentic]

Space Riders: Division Earth (15 x 6min episodes) was created by Mark Little and Dan Beirne, who are comedians, writers and previous collaborators on the popular web series, Dad Drives (http://bit.ly/WwDevK).Much like the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers, Space Riders defend the universe from cackling villains who summon monsters from cauldrons and hatch devious plans. Unfortunately, our two Space Riders live in a crappy apartment, relegated to Division Earth, the lowest rung on the ladder at the Galactic Ministry. Defending Earth makes you the laughing stock of the universe, so Rider 12798 (aka Philip), the selfish brainiac, and Rider 90210 (aka Ken), the positive strongman, are just defending Earth long enough to get a promotion. iThentic has launched a teaser video for the series.

Matt Sadowski, S.P.D.'s Green Ranger, recently joined the series and is extremely excited to lend some experience in fighting extra terrestrial monsters.

“We are extremely excited to be producing such hilarious content with talented comedians like Mark and Dan. This series will undoubtedly garner a massive positive response with iThentic’s comedy fans.” -Jonas Diamond

There is only one catch… One of the stipulations of its potential funding resource is that this series will only be made if they can determine that you, people of the internet, want to see it! So comment, like, share, spread the Space Riders love and let us know what you think!

[Mr. Red]

Matt Sadowski? I thought his last name was Austin?

[gokaiblack]

Me too Mr.red. this show sounds incredibly chessy but i'll check it out.

[YellowAccel]

Same here lol.

[Cameron Samurai]

Interesting...sort of SPD meets Aquabats

[iThentic]

Hey guys,
Sadowski is Matt's given last name, though his stage and current name is Austin. You are right though we should stick with Austin!
Also, the show's goal is slightly cheesy comedy, but we welcome all suggestions and comments. The show will only get made if the series trailer is spread around, so if you would like to see more or have some creative input, please spread the word and let us know what you think!
Thanks for taking the time to check it out!

Is Matt related to Jonathan Sadowski by any chance?

Odd, IMDB says his real name is Matthew Sam Austin, and that his current name is Matt Sadowski-Austin. Did he marry and instead of the girl taking his surname, they combined them? Or is IMDB wrong?

[FE21]

IMDB is wrong. As always.

[MetalPharoah]

Matt is gay, so I don't see him getting married to a woman X_x

Yeah, he's gay (which might shock the user who's reaction in the past was "but he can't be, he's Jewish" - if they still visit Rangercrew haha). According to other places, he was born Matt Sadowski-Austin (That happens in certain foreign cultures, so his parents would have joined their names at marriage). Possibly, his parents either divorced OR that's just erroneous info. Either way, it's cryptic.

[Falcon_Red]

Um, since when was Matt gay? I mean I haven't seen any information confirming it and last I checked he was married to a woman and had a kid together.

[Rangermon]

Now I'm confused... I read years back that he likes guys, unless he's 50/50 lol

[Falcon_Red]

It's possible he is bi and just married a woman.

[lablue6uy]

unless he calls his male partner his wife he married a lady
