Nolan North – Supanova Comic-Con & Gaming

Nolan North – Supanova Comic-Con & Gaming

Nolan North is an American actor and voice actor born in New Haven, Connecticut. He has been described as “the nearest thing the games industry has to a bona fide leading man.” He is most well known for his voice work as Desmond Miles from the Assassin’s Creed video game series, and Nathan Drake from the Uncharted series.

North majored in journalism at the University of North Carolina with a baseball scholarship. He worked as a reporter for almost a year in New Jersey before moving to New York City to pursue stand-up comedy and acting. North eventually relocated to Hollywood and was cast in the General Hospital spin-off series, Port Charles, playing Dr. Chris Ramsey during the show’s run from 1997 to 2003.

During Port Charles‘ run, he worked on a few video games as a voice actor and began to focus on voice acting following Port Charles‘ cancelation. One of his most notable roles came in 2007 when he voiced and motion capped the character Nathan Drake for the video game Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. Since then, he has continued to portray the character Drake in Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (released in 2009) and Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception (released in 2011).

North as Drake has been twice nominated at the Spike Video Game Awards in the “Best Performance by a Human Male” category. In May 2012 it was revealed that North would have a limited role in Star Trek into Darkness, sequel to 2009’s acclaimed live-action movie Star Trek. Director J.J. Abrams cited North’s performance as Drake for the casting, he and his son being fans of the Uncharted series.

Nolan has also worked on many other notable video games and is joining the Supanova Tour to Sydney and Perth which is kicking off this weekend!
