Matt Schulze is an American actor, musician, and model. He is known for his roles in the films The Fast and the Furious and Fast Five.
He has said that he has Osage Native American ancestry. His surname would indicate German heritage.
A picture of Matt and his mother can be seen here.
His mother’s obituary, looks like her maiden name might have been Williams:

I think this is his paternal grandfather:

German, possibly other
It is quite clear he does not have any significant amout of Osage ancestry.

I think his parents are Cynthia Lynne and John Steven Schulze, based on this public record:

Well, I can’t just say that about his Osage ancestry without at least some genealogical information on his recent ancestors.
The American obsession with Native American blood in them is laughable. He’s got as much Osage in him as a polar bear wearing fake tan.
He does not really look like there is ANY Osage blood in him … :D
LOL
People love claiming Native American blood to appear exotic and special.
