Nathan Lee Lewis


In the mid 1960's, a young Nathan Lee Lewis auditioned for his first stage play and was cast as Jerome, the Philippine boy, in a San Francisco Bay Area Community Theater production of South Pacific. From that point, the dye was cast for him. Nathan continued to study theater arts through established curriculum in Jr. High and High School programs in the Vallejo and Santa Barbara, California areas. His love of acting led him to pursue theatre arts on the college level, participating in a Drama Trio touring company in Southern California for a year. He eventually moved to the Dallas area, signed with his first professional talent agent, and began his professional film acting studies with Adam Roarke and Lou Diamond Phillips at Adam Roarke's Film Actors  Lab at The Studios In Los Colinas.

Inspired by his time with Adam and Lou, Nathan would eventually establish his own successful Film Actors Lab in the South, licensed by the State Board of Private Career Education, where he personally trained scores of successful actors. Nathan's educational endeavors achieved national recognition when his school was listed as one of the top acting schools to attend in the South, in actor, Dick Van Patton's book, Launching Your Kid In Showbiz: A Complete Step-By-Step Guide.

With the later addition of a Film Production Department, Nathan launched into writing and producing original screenplays in which students participated both in front and behind the camera. While continuing to teach, Nathan dispelled the false adage, "those who can act, do, those who can't, teach", by being cast in commercials, voice overs, and major motion pictures, including roles opposite Robert Duvall and Cate Blanchette.

In 2005 Nathan Lee Lewis, produced his entire three level Film Actors Lab in an Interactive DVD Series, marketing it internationally. He also established a film production company  through which he produced independent film, audio, and commercial projects, and relocated to the Nashville, Tennessee area.

Since 2006, Nathan Lee Lewis has devoted his time to his passion for screenwriting and producing. In a few short years, Nathan's innate understanding of the actor, and his ability to capture the authentic nuances of character and dialog, woven within perfect arcs of dynamic storytelling, have caused his screenplays to be read and considered by some of the Industry's top producers, including those associated with Oliver Stone Productions, Twentieth Century Fox, Penny Marshall's Parkway Productions, and Paul Haggis' Productions.

Nathan Lee Lewis continues to write and promote his original screenplays, take on contracted screenplay projects, accept acting roles, coach talent, and he remains available to direct film projects.
