!!This actor contains examples of:
* AscendedFanboy: Is an avid fan of ''Franchise/StarWars'' and was thrilled when he got to voice Wedge Antilles in ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]''.
* DoggedNiceGuy: The reason why Nathan got popular, as Freddie Benson, and his role as one-shot character Toplin from Series/DrakeAndJosh was cut from the show after they decided to cast him as Freddie because of it because it'd be the same thing, Nathan's dogged nice guy character hitting on Miranda's not interested female character.
* MrFanservice: As of Season 5 of Series/{{iCarly}}. A lot of his outfits have definitely been fanservice inspired for the female viewers. His guesting in True Jackson VP where he played a foreign prince handwaved this fact with his Rome-inspired painting.
* ScullyBox: The first season of iCarly had him wear ridiculously thick-soled boots to catch up with the girls' heights.
* TypeCasting: His role as a dorky character with an overbearing mother in iCarly and Gym Teacher.
** PlayingAgainstType: In a ''Series/{{CSI}}'' guest role, his character is heavily involved in blackmail and blood money. And in ''WebVideo/VideoGameHighSchool'', he plays a cocky, JerkAss, hyper-competent video gamer.
