(edit) Nathaniel has experience in many different aspects of theatre and tv, including acting, directing, writing, light design, production design, and producing. (edit) While Nathaniel has had a number of roles in blockbusters, he says that if he had a choice he would always prefer to work on local New Zealand projects or projects which had a strong local flavor. (edit) In 2007, Nathaniel won the $6000 Creative New Zealand Senior Pacific Islands Artist Award at the Arts Pasifika Awards. (edit)

Nathaniel: I don't act so much any more on the stage. The problem is that the theatre I want to do is Samoan theatre, but so few people have the experience to direct. Much as I want to be on the stage I don't have a choice many times. There has to be a new generation and I'm working on it. I keep dropping the line and inviting people to come in and watch the rehearsal. (edit) Nathaniel: (on being inspired by actor George Henare) That was the reason I kept on doing theatre- watching these guys do what they did, and doing it for a living. It surprised me, a full week's wage for doing that. I thought it was the best job in the world. (edit) Nathaniel: I tell people an actor is the most selfish person in the world because everything they do is to learn about themselves. (edit) Nathaniel: (on his experiences as a part of "The Matrix" trilogy) Working with the Wachowski brothers was an incredible and energising experience. As an actor and a director to work with people who have that kind of vision was extraordinary. To watch and see that energy gave all the cast huge motivation. (edit) Nathaniel: Now I've seen how big budget films work, I'm not so interested in them any more. (edit)
