About Nathan Lee Graham

From the backwoods of “Sweet Home Alabama” to Broadway, from the Hollywood Hills to getting “Hitch”ed, Nathan Lee Graham does it all.

He’s co-starred in number one big screen features like “Sweet Home Alabama,” “Hitch,” and “Zoolander,” while smoothly segueing to both recurring and guest-starring appearances on top small-screen shows such as HBO’s “The Comeback,” and NBC’s hit comedy “Scrubs” (where he appeared as identical twins!) A personal claim to fame: he is one of only a small handful of American actors to have guest starred on the long-running British smash “Absolutely Fabulous.

Having received his BFA in musical theatre from Webster University Conservatory, musical appearances – both live and recorded – continue to be a natural source of rejuvenation and creativity for Nathan. In 1998, his performance as Herod in the New York regional revival of “Jesus Chris Superstar” had the New York Times’ Alvin Kline calling Nathan’s “slick, jiving, altogether terrific King Herod” a portrayal that “…should be a definitive rendering of a role all too often reduced to silly camp.” In 2000, Nathan originated the role of Phil D’Armano in the Tony™ and Grammy™ award-nominated Broadway musical “The Wild Party.” Recreating that same role in Los Angeles in 2006, Nathan was nominated for an LA Stage Alliance Ovation Award, and won the Los Angeles Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical. Nathan kicked off the 2008 theatre season with a starring role in “Three Lost Chords.” The New York Times singled him out for “…sing[ing] the role with an electrifying clarity and magnificent dramatic timing.” “But,” continues the reviewer, “his strongest assets in this theater’s intimate confines are his vast repertory of expressive facial gestures and a commanding, powerful voice. It hardly matters that his character is fading to an emaciated wisp; the power of [Graham’s] voice seems to suit the hunger artist’s domineering spirit.” Happy New Year, indeed!
