Nathan Kress(I)

Best known worldwide for his supporting role co-starring on the hit ratings-smash Nickelodeon teen sitcom "iCarly" (TV Series; 2007-12), Nathan portrays the nerdy, tech-savvy Freddie Benson (Carly's smitten next-door neighbor, childhood crush, cameraman and technical producer of her web show), a role which he reprises in the 2021 Paramount+ revival as well as guest starring on a special 44-minute 2-part episode of the crossover spin-off "Sam & Cat" in February 2014. After "iCarly" ended on Thanksgiving Day 2012, Nathan broke out into feature films and new media, with New Line Cinema's "Into the Storm", and RocketJump's hit YouTube series, "Video Game High School".

Born and raised in Glendale, California, Nathan began his acting career as a child actor at the age of 3 in the mid-1990s, gaining recognition in the early 2000s after appearing in television commercials, and quickly landed a feature film role as the voice of Easy the Chimp in "Babe: Pig in the City." By fifth grade, he had landed a recurring role as a sketch performer on "The Jimmy Kimmel Show" playing various characters; one of his favorite being a young Simon Cowell of "American Idol."

Shortly thereafter, Nathan began to book guest-starring roles on such shows as "Without a Trace," "Standoff," "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody," "House MD," and "Notes from the Underbelly." Kress began gaining recognition in February 2006 after appearing in the live action television teen sitcom "Drake and Josh," he received praise for his performances in the top-rated Nickelodeon teen sitcom episode, which aired in April 2007, and saw international fame by co-starring in "iCarly". It was his small role he landed guest-starring on "Drake and Josh" that led the show's creator/show-runner Dan Schneider, to cast him in "iCarly." Since then, Nathan has co-starred alongside Christopher Meloni in Nickelodeon's "Gym Teacher: The Movie" and has guest-starred on "True Jackson, VP" as well as police procedural shows such as "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation", "Major Crimes", and "Hawaii Five-0".

In addition to auditioning for various supporting roles in live action Hollywood movies & TV shows, Nathan enjoys voicing characters in animated shows/cartoons with appearances as the classic Wedge Antilles on "Star Wars Rebels", and as a lead on Netflix's animated series "Pinky Malinky". In recent years, he has also stepped behind the scenes putting his experience with multi-camera television to work, with his directorial debut on Nickelodeon's popular series, "Henry Danger" in December 2014, as well as directing several episodes of its sister Nick show, "Game Shakers". With well over a dozen episodes under his belt, Nathan is continuing to develop his abilities as a director by broadening the scope of his work into more varied styles of directing.

In mid-November 2015, Nathan married the love of his life (and "Into the Storm" co-star), London Elise Moore in L.A. They welcomed their first child, Rosie, in December 2017. Their second child was born in mid-March 2021. Kress resides in Beverly Hills with his family.
