Nathan Hastings is a fictional character from the CBS soap opera The Young and the Restless. The role was originated in 1984 by Nathan Purdee, who portrayed the character until 1992. The character was subsequently portrayed by Randy Brooks (1992-1993), and was later de-aged, as evidenced by later portrayal by Adam Lazarre-White (1994-1996), who is clearly younger than Purdee and Brooks. Brooks and Purdee are about the same age.
