Everyone wants to kill their best friend at some point, right? No, not literally. But that is the plot behind the new thrilling Lifetime Channel movie, “Her Secret Family Killer.”

***This article contains major spoilers.


When Sarah (Brooke Nevin) gets a genetic testing kit from her bestie Victoria as a birthday gift, she hopes to discover more about her family lineage. Instead, her friend gets killed and that genetic gift reveals someone related to Sarah just might be the killer, possibly even her brother Will (Darin Brooks). As Roger, the local Sheriff and Victoria’s husband, investigates further the mystery takes several twists and turns. Ultimately, all roads lead to the truth – it was all an elaborate plan by Roger to get rid of his cheating wife and blame it on her secret lover, Will.

Who is Sheriff Roger? It’s actor MATT SHEVIN.

Matt has also appeared in comedian Adam Carolla’s film “Road Hard,” daytime soap “The Bold and the Beautiful,” and late-night shows “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. He gained success at film festivals writing and starring in the featurette thriller “The Beneficiary”, which was directed by Oscar-nominee Theodore Melfi (“Hidden Figures”).

I recently caught up with Matt Shevin to find out more:

Tell us about your role in “Her Secret Family Killer.”

MATT: I play Roger, a sheriff in a close-knit, small town. When a murder occurs, the community doesn't have much faith in my ability to handle this level of investigation.

What would you consider Sheriff Rogers ‘best’ quality? And his ‘worst’?

MATT: Best: he's earnest and means well. He believes in himself. Worst: he's a jealous man, which can spur on surprisingly bad behavior.

How was it playing a bad guy in disguise?

MATT: So interesting! I had unique the fun of essentially playing two roles, and when my evil side is revealed, and I really shift into my character's true psyche, it was my favorite acting moment of my career.

What can you tell us about working alongside Brooke Nevin and Darin Brooks?

MATT: They are so talented and effortless and prepared. When they looked me in the eye in the middle of a scene, they were locked in. Plus, they're so sweet offscreen. I loved coming to set.

Any fun stories from the set you can share with us?

MATT: We shot several days in a real ice cream shop, with full access to over 50 flavors! Actors eat sweets, trust me!

What’s the biggest lesson you learned from working on this project?

MATT: A cast and crew can instantly become a community. We worked long days at many locations and really enjoyed each other. I made friends for life.

And, now just for fun:

Who’s your favorite actor/actress?


MATT: Sam Rockwell. He is so charismatic in every role he plays. Watch him in the movie “The Way Way Back.” He plays an overgrown frat boy, ready with quick zingers, yet also knows when to be a very caring big-brother figure to a teen who feels lost.

What role from the past do you wish you could have played?

MATT: Brad Pitt's character in “Mr. and Mrs. Smith.” He's so swashbuckling and cool. The fight scene in the house vs. Angelina Jolie is the sexiest thing ever.

Favorite movie or TV show from your childhood.

MATT: "The Larry Sanders Show." It was fully-formed right out of the box, and showed how funny and flawed celebrities can be.

Tell us one thing that would surprise our readers to learn about you.

MATT: I've recapped my day in a journal every day since I was 14 years old. Ask me what I was doing, say, June 4, 1992. (I saw “My Cousin Vinnie” with my friend Warren.)

How can fans keep up with you?

MATT: I write a daily blog called InsideTheActorsStudioApartment.blogspot.com link

Thanks, Matt – and keep giving us a thrill!
