Nathaniel Lees
- Actor
- Producer
- Casting Director
An accomplished actor of Samoan descent, Nathaniel Lees who was born in
New Zealand has succeeded impressively as both an actor and theater
director. As a native of New Zealand, it comes as no surprise his name
and face appeared on notable New Zealand projects including Hercules:
The Legendary Journey, Young Hercules, Xena: Warrior Princess and Lord
of the Rings: Two Towers, the latter of which he portrayed the Uruk Hai
named Ugluk. As the new century arrived, Lees perhaps became better
known for his role as the battle-hardened Captain Mifune in The Matrix
Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions (2003). His directorial credits are
equally impressive as he directed plays that have won various award
titles from the Chapman Tripp Theatre Awards.
