AUSTIN, Texas — Just call him "Professor McConaughey!"
Matthew McConaughey is a busy man. From his role as "Minister of Culture" for UT and Austin FC to his jobs on the big screen, he is adding another title to his resume.
The actor has officially been appointed as a "Professor of Practice" at the University of Texas at Austin's Moody College of Communication starting in the fall.
Is there anything he can't do?
The Minister of Culture joined the faculty in the Department of Radio-Television-Film after serving as a visiting instructor since 2015. That means he only participated in teaching only the one class he was visiting for. Now he's officially a UT professor.
McConaughey has been co-teaching the Script to Screen film production class at the university with Scott Rice. He developed the course’s curriculum and provided a unique, behind-the-scenes view of each stage of a film’s production, the university said.
“He has a passion for teaching, and for all things cinematic, that is palpable, even infectious,” said Noah Isenberg, chair of the Department of Radio-Television-Film.
The university shared photos of the professor hard at work.

This upcoming fall semester, he will continue teaching the Script to Screen class. His lucky students will be studying the films "The Gentlemen" and "Mud." Jeff Nichols is also expected to visit.
