In the late 1990s and early 2000s, a fresh face emerged in the Hollywood scene, capturing the attention of audiences. Nathan Bexton, known for his distinctive roles in independent films, quickly became a name to watch.
However, as quickly as he rose to prominence, he seemed to vanish from the mainstream spotlight. This article delves into the journey of Nathan Bexton, exploring his early career, his notable role in the cult classic ‘Go’, and what he has been up to in recent years.

Bexton’s early career was marked by appearances in various independent films and television shows, where he showcased his ability to bring depth and nuance to his characters.
‘Go’
Perhaps the most defining moment of Nathan Bexton’s career came with the 1999 film ‘Go’, directed by Doug Liman.
The 1999 crime comedy follows the interconnected stories of several young adults during one night in Los Angeles leading up to Christmas.
Nathan Bexton plays the supporting role of Mannie, a supermarket coworker and friend of the lead character Ronna (Sarah Polley).
Later Career
After his breakout role in ‘Go’ (1999), Nathan Bexton continued with a mix of film and television roles. He appeared in a variety of projects, often leaning towards independent films and genre pieces.
He appeared in ‘Children of the Corn 666: Isaac’s Return’ and ‘Psycho Beach Party’. The early 2000s saw him in ‘Ropewalk’, ‘The In Crowd’, and ‘Play Dead’.

Bexton also explored comedic and dramatic depths in ‘2 Dudes and a Dream’ and ‘Basement Jack’ (2009).
There was a noticeable gap in his resume between his 2001 role in ‘Play Dead’ and his next appearance in ‘The Sound of Water Rising’ in 2006. Similarly, after his roles in 2009, there was a hiatus until his appearance in the TV series ‘Motives & Murders: Cracking the Case’ in 2012.
What Is Nathan Bexton Doing Now?

This reunion was highlighted by Duval in a 2020 Instagram post, expressing excitement about working with Bexton again.
Duval referred to their past collaborations in “Nowhere” and “Go,” and hinted at their involvement in a new pilot called “Interminable.”
