Bio

Ms. Matthews was born on March 31st. in Kentucky and grew up mainly in Las Vegas, she has travelled throughout her life living in places like California, Utah, Missouri, Ohio, Indiana and so forth. She has 5 kids. Daphne loves muscle cars and motorcycles. She loves to ride. Daphne is a very work oriented person. She keeps her family life private from everyone. Ms. Matthews is also an (Ordained Minister). Daphne takes her work very seriously rather it comes to acting or being on a set, to managing someone else.

 When she was in her 20's she went to school for Medical Assisting, after two years she figured out that she could not see anyone throw up so she changed her major to Forensic Psychology and CSI work. After attending school where she had passed her police exam and could have worked for a local police department her youngest daughter had fallen sick with what she later found out was Gastro issues so she decided to start her own business and run it in Ohio where she currently resides. Running her business for 13 years later into it she had submitted for a casting call for the movie (Donnybrook). Daphne had been working so much that she had forgotten about submitting for the Film.

That was the first role that landed her in the film industry. Daphne had fallen in love with everything in the Entertainment Industry, so she put aside her business to follow a career that had been calling her for her whole life. She had already turned down Modeling contracts when she was younger, and a talent scout at the age of 24.

Since she appeared in the movie (Donnybrook) she has went on to do great things. She has appeared in the new (Wrong Turn) (The Foundation) movie working with the great director (Mike P. Nelson), and worked on (10 Minutes Gone) starring (Bruce Willis) and (Michael Chiklis). Daphne has also appeared in the Film( The Big Ugly) with (Vinnie Jones) being one of the stars and has also been in (Sistas) working with (Tyler Perry), and appearing on the country TV show (Nashville) among many other things.

In the midst of all the things she has been on set for, she decided she wanted to learn all things film and music. So Daphne took a job at the (Ascendent Studios) working as a production coordinator and also taking a role as well as (Jess Reece) on the upcoming (Vice Squad LA Franchise). She also became a Talent Manager and Talent agent at the company because she had already had a background in business. Daphne has also done casting and production work for the band (One Day Alive) featuring Randy Webb & Jason Null from the band (Saving Abel) for the Music videos (Just Tonight) and (Nowhere). Daphne can do just about anything. She has a resume for everything from Acting, Modeling, PA work, Talent Management, Casting, Writing, Press,Entertainment, Business and more.

Daphne has also ventured her way back to doing a little print work as well, She just did a photo shoot for the magazine (The Heart of Hollywood), and (The Voyage of Ohio). Daphne has also worked on Productions such as (Bang Bang) starring (Tim Blake Nelson) and Glenn Plummer), (McVeigh) and (Nutcrackers with Ben Stiller). She has appeared in a commercial on Spectrum Television on the HGTV Network and some others. 

 Ms. Matthews has since won three years in a row for Business of the Year for the Ohio's Awards Program putting her in the Hall of Fame for taking three years in a row. She has also won Business Person of the year for DMTM Talent Management and Lure Entertainment on Alignable. Daphne has also won awards for Shattered Dreams a Film in Development. Ms. Matthews has also been nominated for a World Entertainment Award for 2024 which is a very Prestigious award and Honor. 

Daphne does believe in having fun when she is not working and even at work however, living by this (Motto; It's ok to have fun at work as long as the job gets done , and done right.) She believes that the stronger your team is, the better the product will be, and your work relationships will be but never, ever burn your bridges.)

It is always good to be able to build the kind of relationships that will last forever as far as work and friendships. Honesty is always key and reliability is not an option in this industry. Time is money and the product must be the best. Daphne believes that we all must live our life with purpose and always have fun because you never know what can happen and where it will take you.
