2. He’s Not Shy About His Politics
Long gone are the days when people are shy about making their political affiliations known.

He has been in several productions including A Midsummer Night’s Dream and You Can’t Take It With You.
4. He Used To Want To Be A Singer
Becoming an actor wasn’t always the future Nick saw for himself. He told Schon Magazine, “when I was younger I wanted to be a singer in a band, even though I had no talent for that and I was really shy. But I abandoned those plans, although in reality that was just a wish, and then my next goal was to be an actor.”

Nick has been acting professionally for more than 20 years, but throughout all that time he has remained a very private person. He doesn’t do many interviews and when he does, he never gets too personal. For him, a more low-key lifestyle seems to be exactly what he prefers.
6. He Considered Becoming A Therapist
Before Nick fully committed himself to acting, he was thinking about becoming a therapist. In an interview with Reality Style Network, Nick said, “I started applying to SMC to get some GE courses out of the way because I wanted to get a degree in Psychology so that I could work as a therapist. I stopped because I was auditioning so much that I realized I was going to have to pick one — school or dedicate myself full time to auditioning.”
