EDUCATION / TRAINING:
Nicholas began performing in high school and graduated from Syracuse University's BFA acting program in 2019. During this time he studied under the tutelage of industry veterans and active casting directors such as Ralph Zito, Paul Davis, David Caparelliotis, Katherine McGerr, and many more. During his time in undergrad he spent a semester studying at Shakespeare's Globe in London, cumulating in a performance of Much Ado About Nothing on The Globe's stage where he played Benedict. Upon graduation, he was invited to join the group of resident artists at The Flea Theatre, where he worked and trained with many of New York's up-and-coming actors, directors, and writers. When the pandemic hit the city and shut down in-person training opportunities, he moved his practice online and completed Audition Art's eight-month virtual training program, where he learned the craft of self-taping for film and television. He continues to train with Audition Arts in their alumni classes, as well as continuing to engage with early career directors and writers participating in SERIALS with The Fled Collective.
