Aaron Matthews

Aaron Matthews is the main antagonist in 15 Minutes of Fame who is a young felon. He is pompous, vain, power-hungry, tough, demanding, harsh, and unreasonable but also very clever and smart.

In the movie, he makes his first appearance when he hires Tasha Ivan and Lucas MacDonald to dupe Regina into believing that she is a successful musical icon as part of his plan to kill Regina as revenge for being the opening act for one of Louis McTavish's concerts. Both Tasha and Lucas succeed in duping Regina and help Aaron progress in his plan.

He makes his second appearance later in the movie when he is drafting a letter to Regina after realizing that neither Tasha nor Lucas could successfully lure Regina into meeting him. In the letter, he claims to be a big fan of Regina's and requests her to meet Regina at her house. He then speaks with Lawrence over the phone and schedules a meeting with Regina. This interaction between Aaron and Lawrence was filmed but didn't make it to the final film.

He makes his third appearance in the movie when entering Regina's house. He humors Regina and fakes interest in her life and the life of her father by asking about Lawrence's job experience as a doctor, but as soon as Regina leaves the room, Aaron repeats his line from his first appearance further indicating his plot to kill Regina. He makes his next appearance soon after when, on the same night, he receives a letter along with a Fandango gift card from a fan trying to get the gift to Regina. He immediately bashes the fan and invites his mom to join him at the movies. When he makes his fifth appearance visiting Regina's house for a second time the next day, the same fan calls Regina to make sure she got the gift card. Knowing that the fan would probably report him to the local authorities, he takes the opportunity to attempt to kill Regina. Although he fails to kill her, he puts her in the hospital with a severe injury.

He makes his last appearance when walking down the street when it is brought to his attention that Regina is out of the hospital and back in business, Aaron walks hastily down the street only to realize he had passed Regina's house.

In the movie, the character is light-skinned, curly-haired, and hazel-eyed. The character is portrayed by Kabir McNeely.
