Career
While completing a three year BA in acting at the East 15 Acting School, Wiseman was allowed to leave slightly early in order to appear in a revival of the Christopher Marlowe play, Tamburlaine the Great, staged at the original site of The Rose theatre, located on the South Bank. It was the first production to do so in years. He then went on to appear in various other stage productions before making the move to screen.
In 2015, he appeared as the lead role, Sirus, in gangster comedy, Hackney's Finest.[1] The film was produced by the Oscar and BAFTA winning company, Framestore.
He plays the role of Jake in upcoming thriller-drama feature, Hard Tide,[2] due for release in 2016. Wiseman also wrote and co-directed the film with Robert Osman. He told Variety Magazine "As an actor I’ve always believed in creating your own work and [Hard Tide] doesn’t get any more D.I.Y. Robert Osman (the film’s co-director and writer) and I set about to make a film that we would be proud of, that told this amazing true story in the best possible way." [3]
Nathanael also works as a screenwriter, and has ghost written and contributed on various feature films and comedy shows. His next screenplay is about cricket legend Douglas Jardine, "A Gentleman’s War," which is being produced by Arclight Films.
He is the founder and co-owner of the London and Norway based production company Redeeming Features[4] with Kat Gellin.
