Nathan Head first began acting in Manchester, training at the Actors Centre North (then known as Northern Actors Centre) 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, which has a limited UK cinema run over the 2009 Halloween weekend and was later showcased at the 63rd Festival de Cannes. In 2010, he began a brief 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. Nathan Head's growing profile in the genre led to a starring role in Time Warner Cable’s Exorcist Chronicles followed by an appearance on the BBC to discuss his contributions to horror. He appears regularly as a guest at conventions and horror festivals across the United Kingdom in connection with his genre film and television work.
