Nader Nassereddine

Nader Nassereddine, born October 18th, 2000, in Mississauga, Ontario, is a Toronto-based actor of Lebanese and French descent. Nader discovered his love of acting at a very young age. Up until the age of 3, he was hard of hearing, and he used to observe facial expressions and show his emotions through movement and role-playing using various props at home. After undergoing ear surgery, Nader attended speech therapy classes that improved his public speaking and communication skills, unlocking his ability to bring his acting passions to life. Growing up, Nader participated in various community and school plays from the time he was in elementary school and onwards. He would courageously take on lead roles in high school plays such as Mr. Steward in the re-enactment of The Twilight Zone: Button Button. He also directed and starred in his own capstone project titled S.O.S. - a play that addresses teen issues and mental health. In addition to going to school and acting, Nader began to teach himself to play the piano at the age of 11 and went on to compose his own music. He performed his compositions at school competitions and talent shows. Nader was also heavily involved in extracurriculars; he ran and won various high school elections and continued his campus leadership roles well into his years at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University). Serving as a Top 100 student at Toronto Metropolitan University, Nader has starred in various Toronto-based films such as The Butcher and I'm Not Here. He has also been nominated for his performance in Travel with Us, which was an official selection at the Toronto 48-Hour Film Festival.
