In an unexpected twist of nostalgia, an exclusive clip from Unsolved Mysteries: Behind the Legacy has unearthed a shirtless Matthew McConaughey in one of his first acting roles, reminding viewers that even the biggest stars had humble beginnings.
The clip, featured in the special documentary honoring the true crime series’ 35th anniversary, takes a trip down memory lane, showing McConaughey’s debut on the show as a shirtless murder victim named Larry Dickens in the Texas Most Wanted season 5 episode.
The story is set in the scorching Texas summer, and the director, recognizing the heat, allowed McConaughey to go shirtless, even if the scene didn’t explicitly call for it. The episode captures a young McConaughey, shirtless and sweaty, mowing the lawn before dying prematurely in the garage, a scene that, as the clip humorously points out, received unfavorable reviews. “Matthew McConaughey had to do a pretty solid death scene. He was working in his garage and a man shot him and stopped him with a shotgun. Let’s say… his performance has evolved a lot since then,” comments a producer.
