Nathan Woodworth is an award-winning actor, writer, producer, voice-artist, and comedian. In 2021, he won a Fulbright Scholarship to earn his Master of Arts in Classical Acting at the world-leading London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art (LAMDA), funded by the prestigious Fulbright/John Wood LAMDA Award in Classical Acting (only one such scholarship is awarded annually in the US).
He is a proud Descendant of the Karuk Tribe of California and works to bring Karuk Creation Stories to the stage through mixing them with Shakespeare plays. This has developed into his first full-length play, The Living Boy and the Girl with No Bones, which had its first staged reading in London at the MishMash Festival in April 2022.
As a screenwriter and producer of the film The Purse: A Dream in Two Acts, Nathan won a Maverick Movie Award for Best Screenplay (nominated for Best Picture), Hollywood Verge Film Award for Best Screenplay and Best Comedy Film, and the Audience Award at the Oscar-qualifying BendFilm Festival (2020).
He has appeared on TV shows and web series including The Librarians (TNT) and The Barista Times (which he co-wrote and co-produced and which is available on YouTube); and the award-winning films TuTu Grande (available on Amazon Prime) and The Purse: A Dream in Two Acts.
Nathan’s theatre credits include starring as Joe Bonham in The Actors’ Gang production of Johnny Got His Gun (directed by Academy Award-winner Tim Robbins), as well as the Volcanic Theatre Pub productions of The Dumb Waiter, Red, Brilliant Traces, and American Buffalo.
He has studied improv and sketch comedy at The Groundlings, The Second City, and Upright Citizen’s Brigade since 2012; and has performed stand-up comedy since the age of 12 as an impressionist with 100 voices.
