Education: He attended High School in Peterborough, but trained for the stage in England. General Information: Primarily an actor, Matt Frewer has also tried his hand at producing. He was the associate producer of the television series, "Psi Factor: Chronicles of the Paranormal" of which he also starred. Film: In the early 1980s, he began working in the film industry.
