Nathan Phan was the oldest of four children born to Vietnamese immigrants, Hien and Quyen Phan. At the age of one, he moved to Glasgow, Scotland with his family where he discovered that doing voices and being funny was the best way for him avoid being picked on. He also began practicing sleight-of-hand magic to add to his -- now, literal -- bag of tricks. When he moved back to Southern California, he began to write short stories and song parodies that he could perform for his friends and was soon accepted into the Orange Country School of the Arts and its Creative Writing conservatory.
During his junior year at O.C.H.S.A., he was asked by one of his Creative Writing teachers, John Blaylock, son of renowned fantasy author James P. Blaylock, to audition for a musical he was directing at a local children's theater company. That show marked the first of eight full length stage shows (along with numerous student films) he would tackle within the next several years... not to mention his first role in a studio feature film, Superbad, which he landed due to his incredible Christopher Walken impression.
Naathan is versatility personified. He has performed in Shakespeare, Chekhov, commedia del'arte, farce, improv shows, circus shows, can sing opera, jazz, musical theatre, rock'n'roll, has a vocal range that extends four octaves, plays piano and ukulele, writes screenplays, short stories, and poetry, and is also a world-class magician, being well-versed in close-up sleight-of-hand, mentalism, stage illusions, and has been featured on countless magic TV shows including Masters of Illusion, Wizard Wars, and Penn & Teller: Fool Us, and is a regular performer at The Magic Castle in Hollywood.
