Having said that, I believe people are people, no matter what their socioeconomic background is. Proof can be found in the following example: take a Wall Street millionaire and a small-town barber, and put them in a sealed room together with no food or water. In a few days, they’re the same. They’re both hungry and thirsty and miserable. My point is this: basic human needs are universal, and at the core—male or female—we’re all the same.

Nathan McBride is far from perfect. His character is larger than life, but he’s not superhuman, and he makes mistakes. Nathan has many flaws, but he’ll never compromise his core beliefs.
