In "Getting Real, Part 2," we continue our interview with Nathaniel Blackburn. Nathaniel was born in Virginia and attended Virginia Military Institute. His senior year he was cast on MTV’s "The Real World" which led him to Hollywood where he worked as an actor in film and television. In Hollywood, he chased fame and notoriety only to find himself in the grip of his mental illness. He moved to Colorado hoping a change of scenery would help and for the next ten years he suffered in his addiction. After losing everything and everyone, he surrendered and asked God into his life. Nathaniel is now in long term recovery from alcoholism and addiction and has worked professionally in mental health since 2015. During that time he went back to school and devoted his life to helping others. He now lives in Dallas with his wife where they are members of PCPC.
