Actor Nathan Head
Nathan
Head is a British actor with over two decades of experience across
film and television. He is best known for his chilling performance
as Trinculo the killer clown in the cult horror hit Theatre of Fear,
and for his role as Officer Heinrich Berger in Robert and the

franchise. Building on this legacy, Nathan co-stars in the upcoming
Dracula: Rise of the Vampire,
a bold continuation of the Hammer legacy, set fifty years after The
Satanic Rites of Dracula, bringing new blood to one of cinema’s most
iconic gothic sagas. Demonstrating both his horror roots and
occasional flair for the absurd, Nathan has appeared in five "of the Dead" films,
including Virus of the Dead, Harvest of the Dead II,
King of the
Dead, Book of the Dead, and the spoof Attack of the Flatulating
Dead. More recently, Nathan appeared in a guest role in the
long-awaited Bill & Ted Face the Music, adding a cult comedy to his
acting résumé.

Nathan Head began his acting journey in Manchester, training at the Northern Actors Centre - whose patrons included Sarah Lancashire, Shobna Gulati, and Brigit Forsyth - before refining his skills through regular workshops and performances in independent films and fringe theatre. In 2007, he gained early attention with an appearance in the cult BBC science-fiction series Doctor Who and a role in the five-star comedy play Battered Egos at Salford Arts Theatre in 2008. This led to his casting as villain Raymond Korkinsky in the award-winning comedy-horror Mark Macready and the Archangel Murders, hailed as “British independent film at its best.” The film enjoyed a limited UK cinema run, screened over Halloween weekend in 2009, and was later showcased at the 63rd Festival de Cannes. Nathan also voiced a character in the animated spinoff Mark Macready: Underworld Tales. In 2010, he began a short collaboration with scare entertainment giants AtmosFEAR! Entertainment Group, playing Gauntley the Butler in their immersive FEARooms video and portraying the mummy Khamundi in the promotional material for the Terror Tomb attraction at Scare Kingdom Scream Park in Blackburn. His growing genre profile led to a starring role in Time Warner Cable’s Exorcist Chronicles and a BBC appearance to discuss his work in horror and his expanding international fanbase. Nathan is also a familiar face on the convention scene, regularly appearing at fan events and horror festivals across the United Kingdom.
