Nathan Darrow Bio, Age

Darrow was born on June 21, 1976, in Kansas City, Missouri. He attended Shawnee Mission North High School in Overland Park, Kansas.

After high school graduation, Darrow furthered his education at the University of Evansville and upon graduation attended graduate school at New York University where he acquired more knowledge and experience about theater.

Darrow returned to Kansas City in 2003 and began acting on stages like the Kansas City Actors Theatre, Kansas City Repertory Theatre, Unicorn Theatre, and New Theatre Restaurant.

Darrow appeared mostly in productions of Shakespeare’s plays including Romeo and Juliet, Henry V, and more. Each of his roles was met with much critical acclaim, propelling him to instant success on the Kansas City Theater circuit.

In 2006, Darrow got his first film/TV role in Civil War Stories which exposed him to a wider audience, thus helping to advance his entire acting career.

Darrow performed alongside Kevin Spacey in an international touring production of Shakespeare Richard III. Kevin was impressed with his acting and submitted his name as one of those to be considered for a role in the Netflix show House of Cards which Spacey was already starring.

Darrow was given the role of Edward Meechum, a Secret Service agent and loyal bodyguard of Democratic congressman, Frank Underwood, played by Kevin Spacey.

“It was stacked with some very talented actors who were really right for House of Cards, so Kevin put a bunch of us up for it,” Darrow had of how he got the role.

Becoming a fan favorite almost immediately, Darrow’s role was stretched to include the second season and then the third and fourth when his character was killed after he took a bullet to protect Underwood who had become the president of the United States.

Asked if he was upset that his character was killed off, he said;

“It’s tough to leave something you’ve been involved in. There’s the practical thing of being an actor where the job ends, but we’re always doing that. Jobs are always ending, and you’re going on to something else. But mostly I thought that it was the right way to complete his story.”

After his role ended, Darrow has become increasingly active in the small screen which roles in Billions, Gotham, The Wizard of Lies, Preacher and Rectify. Nonetheless, he continues to perform on stage.

Recently he played during the Heart of America Shakespeare Festival at Southmoreland Park, Kansas City. His HOC costar Kevin Spacey was in the audience and even tweeted his support.
