Talent Signed: Nathan Huntley

For the lead actor, Sixufus will either be a real show-piece or a masochistic acting exercise:  He must convincingly play 6 different characters.  At some points, he will have to morph between characters, insinuating this shift to the audience without the benefit of dialog, much less voice over.

Guy's gotta have chops.

Lucky for us, Maurice Moore, the director who has optioned the Sixufus script, has already identified the leading man and got him committed (so to speak):  Nathan Huntley.

Maurice had the privilege of directing Nathan in "Inseparable Hearts", a short romantic comedy that's now making the film festival circuit.  That piece has Nathan playing an actor, roaming through various roles with the ease of a shark in bloody water.

With Maurice's permission, we've managed to create a small clip from his performance in "Inseparable Hearts":

Here's a bit more about Mr. Huntley:

Nathan holds a B.A. in theater with an emphasis on performance and a minor in playwrighting from the University of Tulsa. While attending the University of Tulsa, Nathan received the American College Theatre Festival’s commendation for excellence in the arts.  Not just once, but twice:  Once for his performance as Billy in the 1996 production of "The Game Room” (a role he originated), and again in 1998 for "Mr. Lucky’s Pub and Grill" (his original work). While in Tulsa, Nathan also co-founded and served as a co-artistic Director for OK REP! (the only theatre company in Oklahoma that consistently produces a full season of equity plays).

Nathan’s most rewarding work is as an actor.  In the summer of 1997, Nathan had the opportunity to premiere "Nation", a play by Tony Award nominee Joe Sears, in the principal role of “Tassel”.  This honor comes second only to being asked by Yvegeny Yvevdeschenko (Russian Poet Laureate and Pulitzer Prize Winner) to create and perform in opening piece for Yvevdeschenko’s poetry performance  in 1999.

Since moving to Los Angeles, Nathan has performed with THE PROP-TARTS comedy team. He also served as an actor throughout the process of developing a new play called A Place at Forrest Lawn (written by Jim Bontempo and Luke Yankee). This piece was honored with third place at the Palm Springs International Playwriting Festival, where Nathan read the play alongside Pat Carroll, Barbara Rush, and Ian Abercrombie.
