Nathan Phan was the oldest of four children born to Vietnamese immigrants, Hien Quoc Phan and Thuyen-Quyen Phan (nee Nguyen). At the age of one, he moved to Glasgow, Scotland with his family where he quickly developed a taste for attention. He soon discovered that performing was a marvelous way for him avoid being picked on. He got his feet wet in the world of theatre by participating in children's theatre productions before taking an acting hiatus and focusing his attentions on magic, balloon animals, comedy, and writing.After spending some time trekking the globe, he moved back to Southern California and was accepted into the Creative Writing conservatory at the Orange County High School of the Arts.During his junior year at O.C.H.S.A., he was asked by one of his Creative Writing teachers, John Blaylock, son of fantasy author James P. Blaylock, to audition for a musical he was directing at a local children's theater company. Knowing his mom wouldn't allow him to do a show with his school schedule, he told her he was going to study with some friends and hitched a ride with his best friend. That show marked the first of eight full length stage shows (along with numerous student films) he would tackle within the next two years... not to mention his first role in a studio feature film, Superbad.Though Naathan has been acting for a relatively short period of time and "in" Hollywood for even shorter, he has been described as a "chameleon", "renaissance man", "jack of all trades", and even "uber-actor", lauded for his youthful energy and yet, old soul.
