On this episode of The Story & Craft Podcast, we sit down with actor, Nathan Kress!  Nathan is a former child actor who has matured into a successful adult actor, director, and producer. Nathan shares his journey from his breakout role on Nickelodeon's "iCarly" to working on the show's reboot on Paramount Plus. He opens up about the challenges of transitioning from a child to an adult actor.  

Nathan also gives us a peek into his personal life - balancing family, career, and the demanding schedule of TV production. We touch on the importance of his family's support in his career.  We also talk about the joy of working with old friends on the new iCarly, as well as the creative process behind making a multi-cam sitcom.  We also get into Nathan's love for directing and his interest in producing.

We take a moment to our mutual love of BBQ, as well as his surprise engagement present to his wife - and how he and his daughter’s continue to enjoy that gift (a 1965 Mustang convertible).  This is a great chat about acting, family, and what’s next for Nathan Kress.
