A University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) graduate is heading back to high school after landing a role on the popular BBC drama Waterloo Road.
Nathan Wood, who graduated from UCLan with a BA in Drama in 2020, said landing his first TV role “still feels unreal” and it was only when he walked onto set that he finally believed it was happening. The former Preston resident will star in the next series of the show, due to be aired over the summer, alongside comedian Jason Manford who will also be making his Waterloo Road debut as headteacher Steve Savage.
” Nathan graduated from UCLan with BA Acting degree in the middle of the pandemic when creative industries ground to a halt. Despite having to finish his course online, Nathan says his time in Preston was “the best three years of my life” and gave him the perfect grounding for the acting industry. He added: “My big take home is that it taught me how to professionally present myself as an actor, not just when in character, but more generally in what is a very competitive environment.
