"It's always been Matthew, for good reason," the 47-year-old actor explained. "I was in kindergarten -- my mom's a kindergarten teacher -- my buddy, John Griffith, says, 'Hey, Matt!

That hand was his mother!

"She goes, 'Don't you ever answer to Matt again. I named you Matthew from the Bible,'" he shared. "So if anyone calls me Matt today... Mom, could be there, in any corner."

Confused? It's just a little bit of news about the next project from Canada featuring the undead: Little Bit Zombie starring Crystal Lowe ("Smallville"), Kristopher Turner ("Instant Star"; pictured right), and Shawn Roberts (Resident Evil: Afterlife), in which Turner plays a company exec who becomes infected by a virus during a bachelor party, forced to avoid an obsessed zombie hunter and his Bridezilla-to-be (Lowe).

Per The Hollywood Reporter the indie genre film from Cave Painting Pictures, to shoot in June in Sudbury, Ontario, will also star Kristen Hager ("Being Human" Us), Stephen McHattie (Pontypool, Immortals), and Neil Whitely (Red, Repo Men). Christopher Bond and Trevor Martin wrote the film’s script while director Walker shares a producer credit with John Griffith.
