Matthew "Matt" McGuire was Lizzie's younger brother. He is the minor antagonist in Lizzie McGuire portrayed as a scheming, witty, cheeky, young prankster who goes to extreme lengths to continuously annoy and irritate his older sister Lizzie, and sometimes his mom and dad. At school, he is known to be the stereotype of the class clown. He is shown to be lazy, and, although he does have many potential talents, he doesn't use them much. He has a best friend named Lanny Onasis, who did not speak on-screen, but Matt was able to understand him, anyway. Matt is also being menaced by a bully named Haywood Biggs. Matt is clever, wily and has a reputation for getting into trouble. Matt and Lizzie shared a typical brother-sister relationship. They fooled around and annoyed each other, but were always there for each other at the end of each episode. Matt is also rather intelligent and creative, and knows how to humor people. His birthday is September 13.
