Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Nick is the son of two educators.
His father was born in Diddington, England, as his grandparents were
emigrating from Poland on their way to the U.S. after World War II. His
mother, the eldest daughter of an orphan-turned-successful businessman
and a woman of Hepburn-esque elegance, grew up in the Philadelphia area
where she studied the piano, harp, and organ. The two met at Catholic
University, where his father was in the seminary and his mother
accompanied the university choir on the ivories. Nick graduated from
St. Joe's Prep in 1997 and received a Marquis Scholarship to attend
Lafayette College, where he performed in his first theatrical
production of 'A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum,'
directed by Michael O'Neill, in 2001. He graduated the same year with a
degree in civil engineering. Nick went on to study architecture at the
University of North Carolina at Charlotte, earning a master's degree in
2005. When he was laid off in 2010 from a small Philadelphia-based
architectural firm, he began acting again after a 10-year-long
sabbatical, training under Drucie McDaniel and Rodney Robb, and
developing his craft in student film productions at Drexel University,
the University of the Arts, and Temple University. Independent
filmmakers began taking note of his work and started casting him as the
leading man in numerous web-distributed fan films shot in New York and
Philadelphia. Soon, he began to pick up more intense roles in larger
productions destined for submission to local, national, and
international film festivals. Small roles in Hollywood films and
television productions soon followed. He was offered his first major
role in an independent feature film less than one year after his return
to the screen and stage. Nick has lived in the city of Philadelphia
since 2005, and works there as an actor, architect, author, and amateur
brewer.
