The Grand Theatre, Swansea, offers The Inside Job this week with the Summer Repertory. A classic Thriller by Brian Clemens. What starts out as a simple act of theft, rapidly spirals into an intrigue of diamonds, murder, bluff and double bluff. . . three bombs . . .three killers . . . three motives . . . only one outcome.

Matt Healy was born David James Healy, and when he was three years old his family moved from Paisley to Oldham, Lancashire, where he was brought up. He attended Oldham College and the University of Salford.[1] After leaving college he travelled abroad until deciding to take up acting as a full-time career, but admits that he spent a lot of time "resting" and taking on manual jobs between finding roles. When he started acting he used the stage name Matt Healy because there was already was an actor named David Healy. In 1997, he toured in the stage play Girls' Night Out, playing a gay stripper.
Previous television appearances include Coronation Street, The Bill, Playing the Field and Holby City. He was almost considering giving up acting when, in 2004, he auditioned for the role of devious Matthew King on Emmerdale.[1].
He made his first Emmerdale appearance on the 4th March 2004 as the character Matthew King. He was in the soap for nearly five years and made his last screen appearance on 16 December 2008, when the character was killed on his wedding day.
