After multiple theatrical productions and singing performances, Nicholas picked up a camera for the first time and made his first short film, “Fuhgeddaboudit”(2011), a mafia spoof that he directed and starred in. Later films included “Poor Money”(2012), “Locker Doom”(2013), “Lockdown”(2013), and now his recent, “My Brother’s Girlfriend”(2014). He is ambitious and excited to continue to what comes next.
