Biography
Early life
Kress was born in Glendale, California and has two older brothers, Andrew and Kevin. His first word was 'construction'. Currently Kress is 5 feet and 3 inches tall.
Career
When Kress was young, he would quote words from television and perform for his family. On his mother's suggestion, they moved to Los Angeles, where Kress began acting. After acting for a couple of years, Nathan's first voice-over job was that of a minor character in Babe: Pig in the City. At age 6, he took a break from acting and decided to return at age 11. He has also been selected for the role of Eizan Kaburagi from Nickelodeon's animated series, Shuriken School. He has also guest starred in The Suite Life of Zack and Cody as Jamie. Kress has also enjoyed playing dramatic roles in House M.D., Standoff, and Without a Trace. In early 2007, Nathan performed in a short film, Bag, for which he won a Jury Honorable Mention Award at the 168 Hour Film Festival for the role of Albert, "his performance as a small fry pusher with a conscience".[1] Bag also won the Festival award for Best Comedy. Kress is currently playing the role of Freddie Benson in the new TEENick series iCarly.
iCarly
On iCarly, Nathan's role is that of Fredward "Freddie" Benson, the technical producer for Carly's webshow, iCarly. Freddie is a computer whiz kid who has an enormous crush on Carly (Miranda Cosgrove) and an ongoing feud with Sam (Jennette McCurdy). "It's weird", says Kress. "I have to pretend to love Carly and hate Sam, but we are all friends." Nathan agrees with his co-stars saying that the chemistry on-set is amazing.
