Biography

Nathan Purdee (born August 6, 1950, in Tampa, Florida) is an American actor known for his extensive television work. His father served as an officer in the United States Air Force, resulting in the family relocating frequently. After spending his formative years in Washington, D.C., Bakersfield, California, and Kaiserslautern, Germany, he completed high school in Denver, Colorado. He currently resides in Easton, Pennsylvania. Purdee gained recognition for his role as mobster-turned-private investigator Nathan Hastings on the CBS soap opera The Young and the Restless, which he played from 1985 to 1992. As one of only two African American cast members on the show during the late 1980s, his presence helped open doors for more African American actors on the series. He departed from The Young and the Restless in December 1991 and relocated to New York in January 1992 to portray District Attorney Hank Gannon on the ABC soap opera One Life to Live, a role he held until 2003. Between these roles, he appeared as Youngblood "Superfly" Priest in The Return of Superfly, the third and final film in the classic Superfly trilogy. On February 11, 2009, it was announced that he would return to One Life to Live in April 2009. Nathan Purdee is also the President of the film and multimedia production company Karmic Release Ltd.
