What else has Nathaniel J Hall been in?
Before starring in It’s a Sin, Nathaniel created his own one-man play which explored his own experiences with HIV.
The actor has previously opened up about catching HIV at the age of 16 after having sex for the first time.
“I was diagnosed very, very young,” he told Sky.
“There was a lot of working through all that shame of being gay and trying to unpick all that homophobia that I’d internalised. And then [came] this other thing, I’d contracted this virus.
“I didn’t tell anyone, I didn’t tell my family and my friends – I told very few friends – until about 2017. And I think I thought I was dealing with it. You know, I just boxed it up, put it on a shelf, it was fine. I was like, it’s my life, it’s my medical record, I don’t need to tell anyone.”
