Nathaniel Ashton's debut as an actor was in the TV series "The Price of Fame," a series on the Reelz network that dramatizes the true stories of how certain celebrities became famous. Ashton played real-life actor Ryan Phillippe in an episode about Reese Witherspoon's journey to stardom. (Coincidentally, Phillippe starred in "I Know What You Did Last Summer," another work with "Summer" in its title.)
Ashton next appeared as one of the leads in a short film titled "Texas High School Football." He then went onto appear in single-episode supporting roles in the murder mystery TV series "Mr. Mercedes" and the gritty drama "Ashes" prior to his recurring role in "Cruel Summer."
Based on his upcoming credits, "Cruel Summer" may be the start of a burgeoning Hollywood career for Ashton. He's currently slated to appear in two features: "Flip Turn" and "Caged Birds." The former film chronicles the story of a burgeoning swimmer, and the latter is about a group of high schoolers attempting to cover up an accidental murder. Ashton will appear in supporting roles in both films. Fans can keep up with Nathaniel Ashton on Instagram and Twitter.
