Nathaniel Diego Butcher (born May 15th, 1984 in San Diego, California) is a BOUNCer on BOUNCE (1999) for Seasons 2 and 3. He was also one of the lead singers of the band Out of Your Mind and, along with Brooklyn Vera, returned to Tweenies to host Season 7. Hi, I'm Nathaniel! My favorite movies when I was young were Back to the Future and Star Wars. In fact, they're still two of my favorites now that I've grown up! When I was young I wanted to grow up to be either a marine biologist (because dolphins are my favourite animal) or an palaeontologist (because I think dinosaurs are awesome). Today, I work as an actor on theater stages and in front of cameras! My career as an actor began when I graduated from Myron B. Green Elementary School. My first professional job as an actor was playing Timon in the Lion King. Since then I have performed in many plays with Sacramento Theater Company, Aurora Theater Company, and Rubicon Theater Company. I won a 1998 Daytime Emmy Award for Best Male Actor in Sacramento Theater Company's production of Switzerland and a 1998 Broadway World Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for my performance as Puck in Rubicon Theater Company's A Midsummer Night's Dream. I have studied improvisation at Upright Citizen's Brigade in New York and Second City in Los Angeles and have appeared on television and in short films. I have had lots of fun acting as many different characters over the years, including a singer, a soldier, a writer, a policeman, a nurse, a fairy and even a tortoise! But being a BOUNCer on BOUNCE is the most fun! I watched BOUNCE when I was a young boy and enjoyed watching Pablo, Naya, Ariana, Whitney, Greg, Gwen and Michael help me make fun things out of stuff lying around the house. I love that BOUNCE encouraged me to sing and dance in my lounge room. "And to all you BOUNCers out there...""My mom and dad have said that when I was young, I would often sing and dance around the house...and that still hasn't changed!"- Nathaniel
