Nate Sapriken is a dynamic Canadian-American teen whose talents span both performance and production. Born in California and now based in British Columbia, Nate holds dual citizenship and brings a cross-border perspective to everything he does.
A committed defenseman for Kelowna Minor Hockey and a student at KSS Hockey Academy, he's recognized for his leadership, discipline, and competitive spirit. Off the ice, Nate's tech skills earned him a fully funded placement at UBC's prestigious summer coding program. He also holds a multi-year scholarship in snowboarding and downhill biking, reflecting his all-season athleticism.
Creative and driven, Nate has a passion for Italian cuisine and balances a part-time role as an expeditor at Basil & Mint Restaurant with his responsibilities as a certified hockey official. In the world of film and television, he brings a strong work ethic, professional set etiquette, and natural storytelling instincts-whether he's in front of the camera or behind it.
Most recently, Nate was awarded Best Actor at the California Women's Film Festival, a milestone in his growing career. Whether on screen, on the rink, or behind the script, Nate is passionate about telling authentic stories with heart, grit, and originality.
