Mathew Karedas, also known as Matt Hannon (born June 11, 1964), is an American actor, best known for his role as Joe Marshall in the 1991 film Samurai Cop and its sequel.[1]

Personal Life

Karedas was unable to get any substantial roles after Samurai Cop, and he disappeared from public interest for the better part of two decades. He was largely unaware of the cult following that Samurai Cop had attained. Karedas would check his IMDb page, and noticed that many people assumed that he was dead, although this may have been due to him legally changing his name in the early 90's. He would regain attention when his daughter uploaded a video of him saying that he was indeed alive to YouTube. He has since returned to acting, reprising his role as Joe Marshall in the 2015 film Samurai Cop 2: Deadly Vengeance. [2] [3]
