Matt Dillon

The New York native, actor Matt Dillon, made his film debut in Over the Edge in the late ’70s. By the 1980s, he grew even more popular among the young adult and teenage audience. Dillon landed roles in some of the decade’s biggest films, including Little Darlings, Rumble Fish, The Flamingo Kid, and The Outsiders. For his performance in the crime drama film Crash, he was nominated for more than a dozen awards including a Screen Actors Guild Award — he became one of the most respected veteran actors in the industry.

Now 56 years old, the actor continues to appear in films, though sporadically. His other film and TV credits include You, Me and Dupree, City of Ghosts, and Modern Family. However, Dillon still has no “modern family” of his own but has been dating Roberta Mastromichele for several years now. Regardless, it seems that he’s not ready to retire soon.
