The movie follows Matthew Hillard played by Mowry, who is dealing with agoraphobia after witnessing the most horrific incident in his life.

If you truly pay attention, the movie deals with so many topics that are worth discussing. We recently had the opportunity to speak with the veteran actor about the new film, a Smart Guy reboot and more.

I'm thankful for the talent that God has blessed me with, the opportunities that he's blessed me with The fact that I have fans that are like family now that watched me grown and have grown with me. To know that whatever I do, like Welcome Matt, is affecting people in a deep way and that's why I do what I do. It's a great feeling and it's hard to put into words.
