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.[3] The film was produced by the Oscar and BAFTA winning company, Framestore.

He plays the lead role of Jake in thriller-drama feature, Hard Tide,[4] released 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." [5]

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 currently directing the feature length documentary Ten Count which explores the modern impact of mental health and how it affects those in the spotlight. The film follows the come back of ex-professional footballer turned professional boxer Leon McKenzie pulling back the curtain on the world of sport and delving into the realities athletes face throughout their life and how it can impact their mental health. The film features interviews with Dwayne Johnson, Ricky Hatton, Frank Bruno, Danny Cipriani, Dame Kelly Holmes, Alan Shearer, Jamie Redknapp, Greg Louganis and many more. [6]

Nathanael decided to make the film after the suicide of a close friend.

The film is set for worldwide release in 2021.

Nathanael is also co-creator of open banking software app Ontick and he is Co-owner of OB, Bar & Kitchen in central London alongside master French Baker Oliver Favrel.[7]
