Biography

Nathan Kress is a talented actor, director, and voice artist, best known for his iconic role as Freddie Benson in the hit Nickelodeon teen sitcom "iCarly". He initially gained recognition as a child actor in the mid-1990s, appearing in television commercials and landing a feature film role as the voice of Easy the Chimp in "Babe: Pig in the City". By the age of 10, he had already started landing recurring roles on various shows, including "The Jimmy Kimmel Show" and "Drake and Josh".

Kress's breakthrough role came when he co-starred alongside Miranda Cosgrove in "iCarly", a show that ran for six seasons from 2007 to 2012. He reprised his role as Freddie Benson in the 2021 Paramount+ revival and also appeared in the crossover spin-off "Sam & Cat" in 2014. After "iCarly" ended, Kress transitioned to feature films and new media, starring in New Line Cinema's "Into the Storm" and RocketJump's hit YouTube series, "Video Game High School".

In addition to his acting career, Kress has also made a name for himself as a director. He made his directorial debut on Nickelodeon's popular series "Henry Danger" in 2014 and has since directed several episodes of its sister show, "Game Shakers". Kress has also voiced characters in various animated shows and cartoons, including "Star Wars Rebels" and "Pinky Malinky".
