Matthew Lyn Lillard (born January 24, 1970) is an American actor, director, and producer. His early film roles include the black comedy Serial Mom (1994) and the crime thriller Hackers (1995). He achieved a career breakthrough for his portrayal of Stu Macher in the slasher film Scream (1996), which bolstered Lillard into the mainstream as a scream king. Afterwards, he starred in prominent roles in SLC Punk! (1998), She's All That (1999), Thirteen Ghosts (2001), and Without a Paddle (2004). He portrayed Norville "Shaggy" Rogers in the live-action movies Scooby-Doo (2002) and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004), and then later voiced the character in several animated releases, serving as the voice of Shaggy since Casey Kasem retired from the role in 2009. Starting in the 2010s, Lillard was more frequently cast in dramatic roles, in films such as The Descendants (2011), Trouble with the Curve (2012), Match (2014), and Twin Peaks: The Return (2017). He also starred in the NBC series Good Girls (2018–2021). Lillard gained renewed recognition for playing William Afton in the horror film Five Nights at Freddy's (2023); that same year, The Hollywood Reporter praised his return to mainstream popular culture. He has since starred in the fantasy drama film The Life of Chuck (2025). Description above from the Wikipedia article Matthew Lillard, licensed under CC-BY-SA, full list of contributors on Wikipedia.

I want to make a modern-day, mature adaptation of the Scooby Doo show called Mystery Incorporated with Shaggy's dad being a sheriff and Scooby being as a retired police dog, which is how Shaggy and Scooby meet and form their friendship, Fred being an actual character, instead of being the guy who's always full of himself and he's investigating a mystery, trying to find the creature who murdered his parents, which leads to him meeting Velma and the two form a bond as Velma lost her father and they try to solve the mystery together. Lastly, Daphne would the "kluzt" and lean more into the popular/mean girls aspect as she's told to do "this and that" by her parents who are like: “You’re a Blake and Blake’s Do This”. As for the style and tone, the show will have the mystery aspect of X-Files and Twin Peaks, but it also meets Riverdale and mixes the suspense with tons of humor, Stranger Things mixed with Evil Dead and lasting for 3 seasons with an equal amount of filler episodes and story driven episodes. It won't be dark and edgy, but it will be a dark comedy and a gritty Scooby Doo show without hate and vulgar. It has a darker tone and style while still keeping some of the goofiness and wacky comedy of other Scooby-Doo shows and also having cartoonish dialogue and music, which is something the CW would make. The last idea I have is make Scooby be played by a real life dog, instead of using CGI and he won't talk in this show.
