Matt Day was born in Melbourne in 1971. When he was 11 years old he went to live in the United States with his father, who was a newspaper correspondent, and it was there that he became interested in acting.
On his return to Australia, he attended Princes Hill Secondary College and joined the youth theatre as St Martins in South Yarra. He was spotted by an agent and at the age of 17, left his home in Carlton in Melbourne to go to Sydney for the role in the television series A Country Practice that was to be his big break.
He joined the cast of A Country Practice in 1989, as Luke Ross, a role he played until 1991. Further TV roles included Water Rats, Farscape, and Spooks.
He also appeared in the hit film Muriel's Wedding. Other film roles include Love and Other Catastrophes, Doing Time for Patsy Cline, Kiss or Kill (for which he was nominated for an AFI award), and My Brother Jack (mini series).

During his time in England from 2000 to 2007, Day played many television roles including BBC's 2002 version of The Hound of the Baskervilles, in which he played Sir Henry Baskerville, The Love of Lionel's Life and a guest role in Spooks. He has said that his favourite role of this period was the photographer Frank Hurley in the 2002 Channel 4 telemovie Shackleton, in which Kenneth Branagh played the title role.
His most recent film he appeared in was in 2009, in My Year Without Sex, directed by Sarah Watt.

In 2009 and 2010, Day was in Tangle. Also in 2010, he was in Underbelly: The Golden Mile and in Rake, again acting with Richard Roxburgh, who he had appeared with in The Hound of the Baskervilles.
