Nathan Daniel Goldberg

Nathan is a Chicago-based actor, writer, improviser, and filmmaker. His favorite dinosaur is a Pterodactyl. The second of five Jewish/Russian/Scottish siblings, Nathan holds a BFA in Theatre Performance: Acting and a minor in Playwriting from the University of Michigan and is a Second City Conservatory graduate. Nathan has recently worked with Court Theatre in Big White Fog, TimeLine Theatre in An Enemy of the People, and can be spotted bussing tables in The Bear (3x3) or pumping iron in Living Situation (1×1). Other favorite credits include UofM’s solo production of Every Brilliant Thing. Nathan has broken his nose and had braces the same number of times: three. Each. When he isn’t acting, Nathan loves to write, compose, improvise, sound design, play video games, and take long walks on the beach (but the walks are sleeping and the beach is his bed). His writing includes musicals (King of the Tigers: A Tiger King Musical, The Curse of the Arthur Miller Head, Juke!, A Flower for Albert), TV (Big Break!, Welcome Back, DMR), and plays, including his award-winning play Chekhov’s Gun, which is currently being developed for future production. Nathan is endlessly grateful for his family, girlfriend, friends, collaborators, and mentors who continue to make this whole ridiculous artistic life possible. Feel free to browse the site, reach out about acting, writing, collaborating, or anything else, and, of course, send along your favorite dinosaur.

MORE ABOUT ME:

My mission is to excel in film and TV, while also creating and producing my own plays, musicals, and sketches. I'm dedicated to making innovative and inclusive theater that is accessible to all, all while also valuing quality time with family and loved ones (and travel) as an essential aspect of my journey.

MISSION STATEMENT

Nathan has an easygoing, deeply creative, and highly collaborative nature, coupled with exceptional on and off-screen talent. With a strong foundation in improvisation and clown, he brings quick thinking, joyous spontaneity, and delightful physicality to any project. He is a singer/songwriter with intermediate proficiency in piano and guitar and expertise in Sound Design. He holds SAFD Stage Combat Certification in Unarmed, Quarterstaff, and Single Sword techniques (and training in the rest). His perspective as an actor, playwright, improviser, musician, and artist will greatly enrich and add value to any creative endeavor.
