About Me
Hey! Hallo! Hola!
I’m Nicholas ;) Great to meet you. Fun fact about me: I was born and raised in Düsseldorf, Germany to a Honduran/American mother and Austrian father and because of my overseas upbringing I speak German and Spanish as well (hence the multilingual greeting at the top). Whether I wrote, starred and directed in home videos, created sketches and short films with my neighbors or acted in plays at school, storytelling has been at my fore front for as long as I can remember.
Moving to New York City to study acting at NYU Tisch at the Atlatnic Acting School Studio, I continue to do just as I have been…Telling stories — stories that take place in our every day lives: inside our kitchens, our offices, our repair shops, and most importantly, inside our messy, beautiful relationships. I'm drawn to the quiet chaos of real life — the conversations we whisper behind closed doors, the emotions we tuck away out of fear or heartbreak, and the moments we think no one else will ever understand. That's the stuff I love to bring to life — the good, the bad, the ugly, and everything in between. I’ve been lucky enough to see a bit of the world, and that has shaped my storytelling in a big way. It's that sense of humanity, in all its mess and magic, that I try to infuse into my work.
If I’m not on stage or on set, you’ll find me writing, training for a marathon, boxing, playing piano or cackling with my family and friends. So, whether you're into heartfelt drama, awkward family dinners, or just enjoy watching people try (and fail) to keep it together - grab a seat. I promise to leave it all on the stage or screen.
