Matthew Labyorteaux was born in Los Angeles, California. He is the adopted son of Ronald Labyorteaux, an interior designer and talent agent, and actress Frances Marshall. He is the younger brother of Patrick Labyorteaux, also adopted, and Jane Labyorteaux, both of whom are also actors.

Matthew is a skilled video game player. In October 1981 he finished in tenth place for Centipede at the Atari, Inc. world championships, and in April 1982 became the United States Pac-Man champion at a People-sponsored tournament, with a score of 1,200,000.

In 1992, Matthew and his brother Patrick founded the Youth Rescue Fund (currently partnered with Los Angeles Youth Supportive Services), a charity organization that assists young people in crisis, and they have since engaged in fundraising for youth shelters across the U.S.

Matthew began working in commercials at the age of seven, having been discovered while accompanying his older brother, Patrick to a casting call. He shortly thereafter landed his first dramatic role in A Woman Under the Influence (1974), where he played one of Peter Falk and Gena Rowlands' children.

Matthew is best known for playing Albert Quinn Ingalls on Little House on the Prairie (1976-1983). Aside from his tenure on Little House on the Prairie, Matthew also starred in the short-lived television series The Red Hand Gang (1977) and Whiz Kids (1983?84), in addition to several made-for-television movies.

Matthew's most prominent film role was in Wes Craven's Deadly Friend (1986), as Paul Conway, a young genius who resurrects a dead girl using an artificial intelligence microchip from a robot he created that had previously been destroyed by a malicious neighbor.

During his most active years, Labyorteaux made guest appearances on numerous television shows, including The Rookies, The Bob Newhart Show, Mulligan's Stew, Lou Grant, Here's Boomer (spin-off of The Red Hand Gang), The Love Boat, Simon and Simon (crossover episode with Whiz Kids), Highway to Heaven, Night Court, Paradise, and Silk Stalkings.

Most recently, Matthew has worked as a voice actor, providing characterizations in video games and animated features, additional dialogue recording in film and television, and voice-over in advertisements.

In many of Labyorteaux's credits, his last name is spelled without the 'y' as "Laborteaux".
