Matt Long

MARTINSVILLE — A former police chief for the city of Martinsville has pleaded guilty to a felony charge of official misconduct, resolving a criminal case that was filed against him more than three years ago. Matt Long, 42, appeared in Morgan County Superior Court I on Friday along with his attorney, John Kautzman. Special prosecuting attorney Sonia Leerkamp appeared on behalf of the state, and Monroe County Special Judge Valeri Haughton presided over the hearing, which took place over Zoom. ...

MARTINSVILLE — A Monroe County judge has agreed to postpone a plea hearing for Matt Long, former police chief for the city of Martinsville, after the state of Indiana requested a continuance in his criminal case. The hearing, originally scheduled for Friday, April 1, has been moved to May...

WOOSTER - Ever since his childhood days, Matt Long’s parents — Greg and Kathy Long — and grandparents — the late Ralph and Grace Jones — demonstrated the importance of community service. Those lessons have remained with Long all his life, which is why he is this year’s recipient of the Wooster Area Chamber of Commerce’s Jack O’Donnell Award.

The good news for Manifesters just continues to fly in one after the other, and it’s safe to say we’re not complaining one bit. Manifest season 4 is preparing to make its landing on Netflix in 2022 for the 20-episode final season. Of course, Netflix saved Manifest from cancellation, opting...

The situation all around Manifest season 4 has been complicated from the start; that is inevitable when you are canceled and later saved. Today, we’re going to go ahead and toss on top of everything else what’s going on with recent cast member Matt Long, who plays Zeke on the mystery drama. In the time in which Manifest was temporarily canceled, Long joined a new potential series in Getaway. While it was possible that he could do both, it would be pretty much impossible to have full-time roles on both shows.

Every prolific offense requires a guy who can catch the ball in space and take off. That’s Matt Long of Vista del Lago High School. The sophomore has impacted games with his good routes, good hands, good speed and desire to reach the end zone. Last week against El Camino in a Capital Athletic League contest, Long caught eight passes from Jakob Hollingshaus for 129 yards and three touchdowns in a 56-20 victory.

In case you missed it, season 4 of Manifest is officially in the works. Showrunner Jeff Rake and show writers are busy developing character storylines while cast members are signing contracts to return. That said, it wasn't clear whether actor Matt Long, who plays Zeke Landon, would be part of Manifest again … until recently.

It looks like Manifest‘s Zeke will not be abruptly walking away from a fight for the woman he loves. Matt Long recently booked a role in the NBC pilot Getaway, and as such his involvement in Manifest‘s fourth and final season on Netflix, which in late August rescued the cancelled NBC drama, was up in the air. And all as many (though not all) costars inked new deals to stick around for the farewell run. But as reported by our sister site Variety, Long shared on Sunday at the Creative Arts Emmys that he will in fact “be back for some” of...

Manifest fans can be sure they’ll see Zeke Landon return, though for how many episodes it’s as yet unknown. “I will be back for some of it, we’re just trying to find out the maximum I can do,” Long said backstage at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards on Sunday. “I love the character in the show so much, but as you know, when the show was canceled I booked another show. It was a pilot. We don’t know what’s happening with it yet. It’s also a really awesome project. So we’re just trying to work out schedules. Everybody wants the best thing for everyone so fingers crossed it all works out for the best.”

Long's commitment after the Netflix pickup was in doubt because of his involvement with NBC's Getaway. "I will be back for some of it, and we are just trying to work out the maximum amount that we can," he tells Variety. "I love the characters so much, but as you know, the show was canceled. The other show is a pilot. We don’t know what’s happening with it yet. It’s also a really awesome project. So, we’re just trying to work out schedules and everybody wants the best thing for everyone. So fingers crossed that it all works out for the best.”

Matt Long, who plays Zeke Landon on “Manifest,” has confirmed that he will return for the fourth and final season of the show on Netflix. He revealed the news during the Sept. 12 Creative Arts Emmys, where he was asked about the series in the press room. “I don’t know...
