Nathan Forrest Winters

Born in June 22, 1975, thirty or so miles east of San Francisco in Martinez, California to an artistic flower child mother and a vagabond alcoholic father that stuck around just long enough to learn what his first son had been named, Nathaniel Forrest Winters was a quiet, analytical, and well mannered child with an eye for details and a passion for performing. Around the age of six, Winters and his family were introduced to Victor Salva, an ambitious 23yr old amateur filmmaker that at the time was working at a daycare. Salva quickly became a close and trusted friend to Winters and his family.

At age nine, after much deliberation and protests from Salva, Nathan convinced Victor to allow him the chance to audition for a part in his newest project 'Something in the Basement'. Out of nineteen young and hopeful males, Winters won the starring role. Also, cast in this 28-minute short film was Winters' 'ClownHouse' costar Brian Mchugh.
