Nathan Head began his acting journey in Manchester, training at the Northern Actors Centre - whose patrons included Sarah Lancashire, Shobna Gulati, and Brigit Forsyth - before refining his skills through regular workshops and performances in independent films and fringe theatre. In 2007, he gained early attention with an appearance in the cult BBC science-fiction series Doctor Who and a role in the five-star comedy play Battered Egos at Salford Arts Theatre in 2008. This led to his casting as villain Raymond Korkinsky in the award-winning comedy-horror Mark Macready and the Archangel Murders, hailed as “British independent film at its best.” The film enjoyed a limited UK cinema run, screened over Halloween weekend in 2009, and was later showcased at the 63rd Festival de Cannes. Nathan also voiced a character in the animated spinoff Mark Macready: Underworld Tales. In 2010, he began a short collaboration with scare entertainment giants AtmosFEAR! Entertainment Group, playing Gauntley the Butler in their immersive FEARooms video and portraying the mummy Khamundi in the promotional material for the Terror Tomb attraction at Scare Kingdom Scream Park in Blackburn. His growing genre profile led to a starring role in Time Warner Cable’s Exorcist Chronicles and a BBC appearance to discuss his work in horror and his expanding international fanbase. Nathan is also a familiar face on the convention scene, regularly appearing at fan events and horror festivals across the United Kingdom.
