Mathew Thomas began his acting career as a teenager, entering Malayalam cinema in the late 2010s. His early casting in ensemble-led films placed him alongside established actors of the Malayalam industry.
Thomas made his film debut in Kumbalangi Nights (2019), a Malayalam-language drama set in the village of Kumbalangi near Kochi. The film was widely received as a notable work in contemporary Malayalam cinema, and brought attention to its younger cast members, including Thomas.
He followed this with Thanneer Mathan Dinangal, a Malayalam coming-of-age film centred on school life, in which he played a leading role. He later appeared in Jo and Jo, another Malayalam release.
Thomas extended his work to Tamil cinema with a role in Leo, broadening his presence beyond the Malayalam industry.
Thomas is among the younger actors associated with the wave of character-driven Malayalam films of the late 2010s and early 2020s. His debut in Kumbalangi Nights and the subsequent lead role in Thanneer Mathan Dinangal established him as a recognisable face in youth-oriented Malayalam productions.
