Actor Nathan Head

Nathan Head is known for his horror film roles, including Father James in Dracula: Rise of the Vampire, an action-packed homage to classic Hammer horror, and Dominic in Sony Pictures’ Jurassic Predator, which reached No. 2 in HMV’s Premiere chart. He also played pathologist Colin Green in 88 Films’ Hellriser, nominated for "Best Thriller" at the 2018 National Film Awards, and Officer Heinrich Berger in The Toymaker, released on Netflix and reaching No. 3 in HMV, No. 20 in Tesco and No. 39 in Morrisons’ "Best Sellers" chart following its physical media release. He is perhaps best recognised for playing Trinculo Moreau, the killer clown in Theatre of Fear, which reached No. 19 in Asda’s DVD chart. A paranormal enthusiast, Nathan hosted two seasons of Apparitions, which premiered on Prime Video in 2020 followed by a second season on Tubi in 2023. The series spawned the true-crime spin-off Cold Blood: Cold Case, which aired on Beacon TV and Fawesome TV.

Nathan Head trained in Manchester at Actors Centre North (then known as Northern Actors Centre) and later attended workshops while working in independent film and fringe theatre. After an early minor appearance in the BBC science-fiction series Doctor Who in 2007, he went on to star in Battered Egos at Salford Arts Theatre the following year, which led to his casting as antagonist Raymond Korkinsky in Mark Macready and the Archangel Murders, a breakout success in the horror genre that was screened at the 63rd Festival de Cannes in 2010, at Cannes Court Métrage. In 2010, he began a brief collaboration with scare entertainment giants AtmosFEAR! Entertainment Group, playing Gauntley the Butler in their immersive FEARooms video as well as portraying the mummy Khamundi in the promotional material for their Terror Tomb attraction at Scare Kingdom Scream Park in Blackburn. In 2013, Nathan’s growing profile in the genre led to a starring role in Exorcist Chronicles, which was released on Time Warner Cable, and later that year he appeared on BBC Merseyside to discuss his work in horror. He is also regularly invited to appear as a guest or speaker at conventions and horror festivals across the United Kingdom, reflecting his ongoing involvement in genre film and television. An interesting bit of film trivia is that Nathan Head has appeared in five "of the Dead" films, including Virus of the Dead, Harvest of the Dead II, King of the Dead, Book of the Dead, and the spoof Attack of the Flatulating Dead.
