When he was 12, he saw a production of Sally by a touring company, and that experience sparked his desire to be an actor.

He made his New York debut as Captain Worthy in The Relapse, as part of the Theatre Guild (1950). Matheson performed in dozens of plays, including some major tours, until 1982.
