Nathan Fielder

Nathan Joseph Fielder (born May 12, 1983) is a Canadian filmmaker, actor, and comedian. He is known for his awkward, deadpan persona and his use of satire and surreal humor. Born and raised in Vancouver, Fielder was involved in his school's improv group as a teenager, which featured fellow comedian Seth Rogen. He majored in business at the University of Victoria, which influenced his later work. After attending a comedy course at Humber College in Toronto, Fielder began his career as a correspondent for CBC's This Hour Has 22 Minutes, which featured his own segment series "Nathan on Your Side" from 2008 to 2009. He wrote and appeared on the American sketch show Important Things with Demetri Martin (2011). Fielder co-created, directed, and starred in the Comedy Central parody reality show Nathan for You (2013–2017), in which he portrays a slightly more awkward version of himself, who offers advice to struggling businesses. After the show's conclusion, he executive produced the HBO docu-series How To with John Wilson (2020–2023), before creating, writing, directing, and starring in the HBO docu-comedy The Rehearsal (2022–present). He collaborated with filmmaker and actor Benny Safdie to create his first scripted series, Showtime's The Curse (2023–2024), in which he starred, alongside Safdie and Emma Stone. Fielder then co-directed his first feature film with Lance Oppenheim, the critically acclaimed documentary You Can See Everything (2026), which follows the disgraced entrepreneur Elizabeth Holmes and her partner Billy Evans. His accolades include a Peabody Award, an Independent Spirit Award, and a WGA Award, as well as four nominations for a Primetime Emmy Award. In 2023, he was featured on Time's list of the 100 most influential people in the world.
