Matthew William Lawrence is an American actor known for his leading role in the movie Cheats with Trevor Fehrman and his role of Jack Hunter on the ABC sitcom Boy Meets World from 1997 to 2000.

Lawrence was born in Abington, Pennsylvania, the son of Donna, a personal manager, and Joseph Lawrence, Sr., an insurance broker. His family's surname was changed to Lawrence from Mignogna before he was born. He has two brothers, Joey and Andrew, both of whom are actors. Lawrence attended classes at Abington Friends School.

Lawrence began acting in the early 1980s, and became a renowned child actor through the early 1990s, appearing in many television and feature film roles, including the 1993 Robin Williams comedy Mrs. Doubtfire and the mid-90's television series Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad. In addition, he maintained starring roles in "Brotherly Love", which starred his real life brothers, and Boy Meets World where he played the character Jack. Lawrence starred opposite Rob Schneider, in The Hot Chick.

Lawrence's singing debut was in 1986, when he and Joey did the 1986 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade (Matt sang at the 1991 Macy's Parade as well).

Goode & The Window; Part 1; Rock & Roll Music), two Brotherly Love episodes (A Roman Holiday; Silent Night, Art Attack; Pigeon On Your Car) and his last musical moment on Boy Meets World (As Time Goes By; This Dame).
