Gerrison Machado

Gerrison Machado is an up-and-coming, multi-talented actor, writer and director.

He returned from London after shooting the first season in his series regular role of Matty Cleary-Lopez alongside Toni Collette and John Leguizamo in Amazon's new thriller drama, "The Power ", based on the award-winning novel by Naomi Alderman. As Matty, the constantly grumpy and ignored middle child, Gerrison finds his way through puberty and his place in his family in the midst of this dystopian world in which young women discover they can electrocute people at will (releasing in 2022).

Shortly after wrapping season one of "The Power", Gerrison took on one of the lead roles in the feature, "1-800-Hot-Nite" as O'Neill Fife, a troubled and abused teen with an inherent rage and tough exterior that covers his desperation for love and adoration. The film tells the urban odyssey of one unforgettable night in the life of three marginalized teens (also releasing in 2022).

In 2020, at age 14, Gerrison wrote and directed the short film, "Connection" for which he received the 2020 Best Director award at The Sydney Indie Short Film Festival.

Currently, Gerrison is producing, directing and appearing in the pilot, "Guns & Ashes".

When not filming, Gerrison enjoys playing guitar and making music, compiling new ideas for possible film projects, training in martial arts and hanging out with his family and friends.
