Biography:
Nathan Karl Kress (born November 18, 1992) is an American film and television actor. Acting since he was three years old, he is best known for his role as Fredward "Freddie" Benson on the Nickelodeon television series iCarly.
Kress, the youngest of three brothers (the other two are named Kevin and Andrew), exhibited exceptional memorization skills at the age of three, learning dialogue from television and performing it back to his family.
Kress had many small parts in film and television (many of them voice-over roles) before landing a notable guest-starring role on The Suite Life of Zack and Cody in which he played a basketball player named Jamie who uses a wheelchair.
His appearance led to a cameo appearance being written for him on the Nickelodeon hit show, Drake & Josh (which also starred his iCarly co-star Miranda Cosgrove). The character was so similar to the role of Fredward "Freddie" Benson on iCarly, and his performance was so good, that he was cast on iCarly as Fredward "Freddie" Benson and his role in Drake & Josh had been deleted. He was one of five actors up for the role of Freddie.
In March 2010, Kress guest-starred as murder case suspect Mason Ward in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation in the episode Neverland.
On iCarly, Kress plays Fredward "Freddie" Benson, the technical producer for the fictional web-show iCarly, which stars his character's two best friends, Carly Shay and Samantha "Sam" Puckett. His character has a crush on the main character Carly Shay (played by series star Miranda Cosgrove), and a feuding, bitter-sweet relationship with Carly's best friend and web-show co-star, Sam Puckett (played by Jennette McCurdy). The show, Nickelodeon's most-watched show aimed at tweens, catapulted Kress to national fame among adolescents. Kress's performance on the show has been characterized by one reviewer as "sweetly nerdy."
Kress also starred with Christopher Meloni in the made-for-television movie Gym Teacher: The Movie, which aired on Nickelodeon in September 2008. One reviewer noted that Kress and co-star had "sweet rapport."
Kress is good friends with his iCarly co-stars Jennette McCurdy and Miranda Cosgrove, and True Jackson, VP's Keke Palmer.

Trivia:
He has two brothers: Kevin and Andrew.
