Nathan Kress

Nathan Kress is known around the world for his lead role on Nickelodeon's hit show "iCarly." Kress plays Freddie Benson, Carly's smitten next-door neighbor and technical producer of her web show. Now that "iCarly" has ended its stellar run, Kress is breaking into feature films.

Born in Glendale, California, Kress began acting at the age of three and quickly landed a feature film role as the voice of Easy the Chimp in "Babe: Pig in the City." By the fifth grade, he had landed a recurring role as a sketch performer on "The Jimmy Kimmel Show," playing various characters, one of his favorites being a young Simon Cowell of "American Idol." Shortly thereafter, he began to book guest-starring roles on such shows as "Without a Trace," "Standoff," "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody," "House M.D." and "Notes from the Underbelly." However, it was his guest role on Nickelodeon's top-rated show "Drake and Josh" that led the show's creator, Dan Schneider, to cast him in "iCarly."

Since then, Kress has starred alongside Christopher Meloni in Nickelodeon's "Gym Teacher: The Movie"; guest-starred on "True Jackson, VP," "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," and "Growing Up Fisher"; and reunited with "iCarly" star Jennette McCurdy on "Sam & Cat." He also starred in an NBC television movie "Game of Your Life," which revolved around college students studying video game design.
