Motivation in most situation:

He is self-absorbed, selfish, impulsive and incapable of taking anything short of a direct attempt on his life seriously. Even when in the most ludicrous and dangerous situations, he'll take time out to make a wisecrack. Naturally, Nathan's abrasive personality means that he's often the subject of others' ridicule and abuse. However, he almost completely lacks the capacity to feel embarrassment, shame or emotional pain from such attacks and will quite happily shrug them off.

Love life:

He is always trying to get with kelly Bailey. And finally does and goes in a relationship with her. Also in one episode he is in love with simon Bellamy because of a power a tatoo artist has.

Problems in life:

·        was kicked out of his house

·        didn’t know his dad (always has a problem with him but sorts it out)

·        hes homeless

·        hes doing community service for eating pick and mix (and not paying) and attacking the manager with a stapler

·        he doesn’t actually have any real friends

·        does drugs

A script for one scene from misfits:

setting: at the community centre, in the locker room. Simon and Alisha are making out and Alishas tops off. And Nathan strolls in with a grin on his face.


Alisha: s**t! (holds her top over the frront of her and pulls away from simon)
Nathan: Well well well beauty and the freak. Never thought you'd get with someone with out paying them. (looks at Alisha) or did you?
Simon: I did not pay for her. She is my girlfriend.
Alisha: (angry harsh tone) will you shut up and f**k off?!
Nathan: No this is too good to miss. (cheesy grin and goes towards Simon and points at his private area and shouts) Barrys got a boner. Look at it, its so small
Alisha: leave him alone. He doesnt. Just b***er off okay?
Nathan: shhhh this is a rare moment, my friend has discovered his very first boner (puts his arm around simon) welcome to manhood. Maybe you will finally hit puberty and grow some balls. (smiles at Simon)
Simon: (removes Nathans arm from his shoulder) I do have balls and pubes you've just never seen them
Nathan: That is properly the most gayest thing youve ever said to me. Would you like me to rub your nipples as well?
Alisha: Will you p**s off Nathan I'm trying to get dressed!!
Nathan: (tuns to alisha) Would you like me to rub your nipples?
Alisha: your such a jerk!! (storms off) Simon you coming?
Simon: yes (follows her)
Nathan: (shouts after them) I guess ill rub my own nipples them





Sorry for the vulgar language that is used in the script. Ijust wanted it to be real as possible
