Matthew Del Negro

Matthew Del Negro is a prolific American actor, producer, and author born on August 2, 1972, in Mount Kisco, New York. A former Division I lacrosse player at Boston College, he transitioned into acting in the late 1990s and has since built an extensive filmography as one of Hollywood's most reliable character actors. He first gained major recognition for his recurring role as Brian Cammarata on the HBO landmark series The Sopranos. Del Negro is perhaps best known for his portrayal of Michael Ambruso on ABC's Scandal, Rafael McCall on Teen Wolf, and Bram Howard on The West Wing. Beyond his television success, he has appeared in films such as Wind River, Hot Pursuit, and Saving Lincoln, and has lent his voice to major video games like Mass Effect 3 and L.A. Noire. In addition to his acting career, Del Negro has become an influential voice in the self-improvement and professional development space. In 2017, following a period of professional uncertainty, he launched the popular podcast "10,000 "No"s," where he interviews high achievers—from athletes to Academy Award winners—about overcoming rejection and persevering through failure. This project eventually led to his 2020 book, 10,000 "No"s: How to Overcome Rejection on the Way to Your YES. More recently, he has continued his streak of high-profile TV work with roles in City on a Hill, Mayor of Kingstown, and the upcoming 2026 crime thriller Crime 101, where he is cast as Police Captain Stewart.
