Nathan Luke West (born September 29, 1978) is an American actor and musician.
Career
In 2000 West worked on the television series 7th Heaven with his now wife Chyler Leigh, playing Mary Camden's (Jessica Biel) troubled friends Johnny and Frankie.[1]
From major films to classic independent projects, Nathan West’s career has highlighted his strengths as an actor and producer. With roles in such films as Disney’s Miracle and the award winning independent feature Alleged, he not only proved his strength as an actor but his eye for culture. And as a producer, his projects including IFC’s Brake, demonstrate the depth of his skill for a future forward vision in entertainment.
Now, having achieved over 10 years in the industry, West is taking on the recording studio, releasing his debut EP "Nothing Ordinary" with his band East of Eli, in anticipation of his upcoming production of the independent feature Into the Mystic.
When West was not captivating audiences, in roles such as Jan in Bring It On, he was growing his musical skills as an instrumentalist and singer/song writer. A lover of many genres, West, draws his musical inspiration from the likes of such greats as Van Morrison, Bob Dylan and Otis Redding.[2]
He also makes music with his wife, calling themselves "Westleigh": a fan-bestowed twitter ship name. They have done covers and wrote an original song called "Love lit the sky".[3]
Personal life
While at an auditioning for a couple on the show Saving Graces, West met Chyler Leigh. They have worked on many projects with each other after that, usually portraying couples, including Seventh Heaven and Safe Harbor. When on the set of Not Another Teen Movie, Nathan proposed to Chyler. The couple married, and have three children: Noah Wilde West, Taelyn Leigh West (born September 2006),[4] and Anniston Kae West(born May 7, 2009).[5] Leigh has said that she and Nathan have a pact in which the person who guesses the baby's sex correctly gets to choose the name. When pregnant with Noah, Leigh guessed she was having a boy so she chose the first name and Nathan gave him his middle name. For Taelyn, Nathan correctly guessed it was a girl, so he named her. Their third child, also a girl, was guessed correctly by West.[6][7]
