Emmy Award-winning writer Greg Daniels says his barber has inspired a character in his show “Upload”, though he hasn’t informed the guy yet.

Talking about his inspiration behind Robbie Amell’s character Nathan Brown in “Upload”, Daniels said: “The character of Nathan, who is the guy who gets uploaded, is actually initially based on my barber in Los Angeles who is a very attractive Persian guy and he doesn’t know that I’ve based this on him.”

“But it was in the earlier drafts and I also wrote a lot of it in Westwood, California which is like the big Persian community center. So, and part of it was in the early drafts was that he was a bit of a fish out of water because he showed up in his girlfriend’s family’s version of the afterlife which wasn’t really his cultural situation,” added Daniels, creator and executive producer of “Upload”.
