NATHAN DANIELS (Milika)

"When it comes to women, he's thinks he's the greatest," joked director Stephen Johnson of Nathan Daniels who plays 'Milika.' Blessed with a dazzling smile and charm to spare, fifteen-year old Nathan nearly missed the final auditions, opting instead to go hunting with his father. Nathan comes from the small village of Milikapiti situated on the north-western tip of Melville Island, one of the two islands that constitute the Tiwi Islands. Although his immediate family live in Milikapiti, he also has many relatives throughout the Tiwi Islands. Nathan goes to boarding school in Darwin. In common with 'Milika,' his movie alter-ego, Nathan is a gifted football player (he plays A grade football with the Waratah Football Club) who loves music, Bon Jovi and girls - but not necessarily in that order. He enjoyed making YOLNGU BOY but like any normal teenager hopes that his friends won't laugh too much when they see him on the big screen.
