Nathaniel Arcand Isn’t Letting the Grass Grow…
March 28th, 2008 by Carole Levine
Cree
actor Nathaniel
Arcand is a busy
guy. I know this to be true because every time I talk to him he is
actively pursuing a new challenge beyond seeking roles that break with hackneyed
film portrayals of Native males. Sure, he's worn his share of buckskin and
feathers onscreen, but he's also played a kickboxer, curling champ, amiable
repairman, rodeo rider, possessed grad student, and most recently, a
veterinarian. Oh yeah, he is also a motivational speaker, youth mentor,
photographer, singer, and has produced a sketch comedy show, among other
things…
So it's hardly a surprise he's attracted a large and loyal fan base across North America. Nathaniel's just the sort of person who represents the best of what is coming out of Native entertainment, and in keeping with his impressive resume, is continuing to develop as an artist. Most recently, he's co-starred in the CBC series, Heartland, which will begin filming its second season this May. Also, he just completed a docu-drama called The Last Explorer for Montreal-based Rezolution Pictures, the Aboriginal owned production company whose Canadian comedy series, Moose TV he starred in with Adam Beach. And, just so we all know the dude isn't letting the grass grow while he's waiting for Heartland to resume production, he is developing his portfolio as a photographer.
Yup, Nathaniel Arcand is
a busy AND versatile AND talented guy. With that in mind, we are sharing with
you a recently produced demo video just to give you a taste of what we're
talking about. Enjoy and stay tuned…
