Matt Milburn (born in Manchester) appeared on Coronation Street intermittently between October 2016 and July 2024 as Tommy Orpington, formerly a player for Weatherfield County FC and later, a painter and decorator.
Probably better known as his portrayal of Hollyoaks regular Joe Spencer, he has also been credited for roles in Emmerdale and Doctors, along with the feature films Snappers, Teddy and the short films Greasy Spoon and The Locke Inn.
On stage, he has appeared in productions of The Merchant of Venice, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Tag Team, To Kill a Mockingbird and Dead Simple.
He is the brother of actor Greg Wood, who has also played two roles on Coronation Street - a nod to the siblings' relationship was given on-screen in Episode 9747 (17th April 2019) when Greg's character, Rick Neelan, pinned Gary Windass against a wall in his office, on which hung a Weatherfield County calendar showing Matt's character, Tommy.
