The 28-year-old actor, along with actor-writer-director Steven Grayhmand Twilight’s Charlie Bewley, chronicled the journey - interviewing veterans who’ve returned from Iraq and Afghanistan - as they researched their roles for the filmThunder Road.
“We cannot ignore that we are living in a time of war. We have challenged ourselves to capture the most honest and accurate depiction of a soldier’s journey without forgetting those who are indirectly affected by the full spectrum of this war,” Matt tellsJustJared.com.
Thunder Road will explore the difficulties many U.S. soldiers face when they return to civilian life from active duty in Afghanistan.

Charlie Bewley talks about his cross-country tour for 'Thunder Road'
justjared, @alchemission, examinerCharlie Bewley talks about his cross-country tour for 'Thunder Road'
As you may or may not know, Charlie Bewley ("Demetri" in the Twilight series) has been trekking across America along with his Thunder Road co-stars Matt Dallas and Steven Grayhm to speak with Afghanistan veterans about their experiences in preparation for their film.
Bewley has been actively tweeting about the journey, which has been called "Into the Heart of America: A Soldier's Story" and now The Hollywood Reporter has a quote from Charlie Bewley in which he reflects on some of what they've learned so far.
"It is difficult to sustain emotional detachment, from the exhilaration of deployment to the tragedy of loss and the eventual homecoming. You walk into a room with preconceived notions of what war is like and it’s just different when you’re sitting there hearing it first hand."
