As a __ of fact; actually

Ross

I believe the answer is:

matter

(Other definitions for matter that I've seen before include "Substance; be important" , "Substance or material - not spirit" , "From which all physical things are made" , "Stuff - mean something" , "See 10" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
