Raymond Matuson (b. 11/11/1927 – d. 22/10/1998) was an actor.

== Biography ==

Raymond Matuson was the son of Max (Morduch) Matuson and his wife, Mera (Mira) Slosberg. After leaving school he joined his parents in their small paint and hardware business in Jeppe Street and, for a few years, became a professional actor. However, when it became clear that it would be almost impossible to make a living in such an unstable profession, he turned to business. During the sixties he had a waste recycling factory in Alberton and in 1975 he applied for a general dealer’s license to operate as an auctioneer, a profession he followed for the rest of his working life. Especially during the 1950s, he appeared in a range of plays, notably for [[RAPS]] ([[Repertory Amateur Players Society]]). He also had roles in a number of films, starting with an uncredited part in [[Jamie Uys]]’s ''[[Hans en die Rooinek]]'' (1961). In addition he was [[Percival Rubens]]’s producer on ''[[The Long Red Shadow]]'' (1968). He was married to Gertrude (Gerty) Chasen.
