Fan of a man indeed!

Matthew Chapman (born November 1, 1976) is the younger of The Brothers Chaps. He and his brother Mike are the principal creators of the Homestar Runner body of work. Matt is the voice actor for almost all of the characters on the site. He is married to Jackie Chapman, who had a brief cameo in Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer. They currently have two daughters, the older of whom is named Ida.

During the extended hiatus of Homestar Runner content, Matt moved out to Los Angeles for several years and worked on various children's television series in Los Angeles. He moved back to Georgia around 2014.
