Matt Gilmore

Matt Gilmore is a contestant from Survivor: Burkina Faso.

Profile
Hobbies: Practicing and learning new accents, playing video games (mostly the character creation though), writing, playing D&D.

Pet Peeves: People who want and think they can get famous without putting in any effort is my biggest pet peeve. A lot of people don’t understand the struggle of getting your name into an industry, let alone becoming one of the biggest in it. Fame comes with hard work.

Three Words To Describe You: Kind, hard-working, talented.

Personal Claims To Fame: Where do I start. I’ve just done so many things and had so many opportunities. I’ve gotten plenty of roles in my career and naming even just a few would be difficult. I originally got popular with anime dubs, so any of those early ones really.

Your Inspiration In Life: All of the people who support me and my career choices. I was very fortunate to have a family that did support me no matter what, which is not a reality for a lot of the people living in this country.

Contestant You Are Most Like: I would have to say Jonathan Penner was a great storyteller and narrator, somebody who always had a pulse on the game, which I think comes close to me as a person.

Reason For Being On Survivor: I always enjoy new experiences in life, and Survivor is a rather unique one.

Why You’ll Win: I tend to be a very creative person, and I think that could get me by. If you look at the contestants considered to be the greatest of all time they vary a lot. Some are controlling and dominant; while others are shrewd and cunning. They are those who are challenge beast; they are those who couldn’t win a challenge to save their life. There are so many possibilities, but they all bring something new to the game. You can’t win by playing a cookie-cutter game, you have to be original. I think that element of the game falls in line with my biggest strengths
