Australian viewers will see Nate appear on screens soon, and he will catch the eye of Ricky Sharpe (Bonnie Sveen).
Speaking about the role, Pryor said: "Nate's arrival is fast-paced and frantic when he finds himself in Summer Bay.
"Playing a doctor has led to interesting and engaging storylines, that have been great fun and challenging to play.
"Being new to Australia myself, our journeys are fairly similar."
Pryor has previously appeared as Marcus in popular series Spartacus: Blood and Sand. His other credits include roles in This Is Not My Life, ABC's Legend of the Seeker, Go Girls, Nothing Trivial and Auckland Daze.
