I think on their now defunct podcast Matt and his bride said they left LA partially because most of their family is in the South or Midwest. California is also hellishly expensive and they hated the traffic.
He was making very good money, and living in a
very nice house in LA (not all that different than the one he currently has in Nashville). If he had kept working regularly on camera, he probably would have still been able to live quite nicely. And there's more suburban, rural areas to spread out to outside the city.
Yes, CA is expensive, but now they live in the ritzy, upscale area of Nashville where a lot of other celebs live.
According to them, it was mainly about wanting to raise their daughter in a place like the more rural upbringing they both had where she could run around, they could have more room, be close to family, etc. And supposedly not have to have her deal with what other celebrity children have to deal with in LA. The irony about that is they have her all over their social media accounts, the wife runs a 'lifestyle' blog/brand that puts their whole family business out there for consumption, etc., etc.
And they kept saying that they always intended (and supposedly still do) to have a place in LA too, had he booked a project that had him work regularly there (which sadly hasn't happened).
And now they're doing a total upscale remodel of an old house in Ohio to have as another residence.
Matt can work pretty much anywhere as a voice actor.
Sure, but some of us would love to see him back on camera - regularly - where he really belongs.
His real
assests are wasted on voice work.
