Jonathan Goldstein (actor)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jonathan Goldstein (born December 4, 1964 in New York City) is an American actor.

He plays the character Walter Nichols in the Nickelodeon television series Drake & Josh. He used to sing for "The Shakers" in NYC.

Jonathan waited tables for 10 years to help pay the bills between acting gigs. In a bizarre twist of fate, one of Jonathan’s regular customers turned out to be “Drake and Josh” producer Dan Schneider, who didn’t even recognize his fave waiter on the audition tape. “After he picked me his wife Lisa looked at the tape and said, ‘Hey, isn’t that our waiter Jonathan?’” the former-server-now-TV-star explained. Jonathan grew up in New York and honed his acting skills at New York University and Northwestern University before landing a role on the soap opera “All My Children" and heading for Hollywood. His TV credits include “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Once and Again.”

Goldstein studied at Northwestern University.
