Nathan Carpenter was born to entertain! Born in the small farm town of Hollister, in Northern California,Nathan learned at the age of 5 how to control a crowd. When his 3rd grade teacher approached him and asked him to lip-sing the earth friendly, "Sun, Soil, Water & Air" song, he gladly obliged. Wearing sunglasses way too big for his face, he led the school to a standing ovation with the crowd demanding an encore. Fueled by the excitement of the crowd, and encouragement of his peers and teachers, he retook the stage and gave the fans what they wanted. This became a regular occurrence, and soon it was a staple item in the school assemblies.
In high-school Nathan took a liking to the video production class in which he soon became the leader. Shortly after 9/11, Nathan organized the school to hold up individual pieces of the flag, to form the whole flag as if flying in the air while the national anthem played in the background.
He said, "It was to symbolize that we are all individuals, who when we put our minds and hearts together, become something greater; American”. Shortly after, Nathan's former video production teacher was to be hosting the Annual 4th of July Motorcycle Rally for The Public Access Channel, and Nathan was the natural pick to co-host the event with 100,000 in attendance. Upon graduation, Nathan moved to Lodi, just south of Sacramento. Enrolling in the community college, he was soon back in the video production classes. He enjoyed working both in front and behind the cameras on his Improv comedy skills. He learned how to play all the games on the TV show, "Whose Line is it Anyway?" a showed he adored and respected. Nathan soon found himself encouraged by family, friends, and peers to pursue a career in the performing arts.
Nathan then moved to Los Angeles and quickly enrolled in The Beverly Hills Play House and began working for a club at nights. With no transportation, and no family but new friends, he made his way around to auditions and found success with MTV starring in his first commercial. When he booked a Jacks spot right away, he knew his passion for the arts, had become reality. Nathan was soon appearing in“Man Overboard”, “August”, and”Last Chance” as well as other student and independent projects.
In early 2008, Disney took an interest in Nathan, and made him the star of their summer campaign, "U Rock the Summer". His face was blasted all over Disney.com and people started taking notice. Nathan was then offered a multi-year contract with Disney.
You can spot Nathan in the very funny spot for Old Mutual dressed in full Roman attire.
