I’m Nathan Wright, an Australian actor based in Los Angeles. Since moving here in 2017 (thanks to the green card lottery), I’ve been living the classic actor/waiter life while chasing roles on stage and screen. Along the way, I’ve booked a dozen principal commercial roles, starred in the Australian comedy feature Pipe Dream (now on Amazon Prime), and appeared in numerous shorts and theatre productions.

​

I currently train in Meisner technique at Playhouse West L.A. and hold an Advanced Acting Diploma from The Actors Workshop (Stella Adler–based) in Australia. Before that, I left home at 16 to complete my HSC at Newtown High School of the Performing Arts — I’ve had the acting bug since I was 10 years old.

​

I’m drawn to slightly nerdy, awkward roles in both comedy and drama, but I also love tapping into darker edges — playing a serial killer (à la You) or even Shakespeare’s Richard III is on my bucket list.

​

My dream gig is a big-budget sci-fi — I love the elaborate sets, immersive worlds, and the pure escapism the genre delivers. Acting itself excites me for a different reason: the constant challenge. Every script is a puzzle — uncovering clues about a character, piecing them together, and then living truthfully in each moment. When it all comes together, it feels like flying. Acting is never the same twice, and that’s what makes it the most thrilling job in the world. Getting the chance to play and travel for a living has always been the dream.

​

Outside of acting, I’m also the creator of Track Your Talent, a career management app built for actors. I designed it after realizing the existing tools for audition tracking and industry networking were clunky and outdated. Track Your Talent makes it easy to log auditions, manage contacts, and track finances — all from your phone. Since launching, it’s given me and other actors more confidence, clarity, and control in an industry where so much feels out of our hands.

​

When I’m not on set or working on the app, you’ll probably find me gaming, geeking out over movies, chasing thrills at theme parks or horror mazes, or even sneaking in a round of ballroom dancing — a hobby I once taught full-time.
