Nikolai started his stage career as a European child model in Manila, the Philippines, where he grew up, and continued with small parts in high school in Sydney. While in India he was cast for a small part in a Bollywood movie. This rekindled his passion for the lime light. Later he was cast in the French Stadium Spectacular “Ben Hur” With Russell Crowe, playing a roman soldier, leper, galley slave and donkey herder. Nikolai enjoys the camaraderie of acting and is a professional on set, taking his parts seriously and with a work ethic second to none. Nikolai has spent most of his life in some form of study in a constant effort to improve himself and sometimes boasts an almost fanciful list of skills even if, (as he jokes,) he is master of none of them… well, not all of them. Some of which are cooking, SCUBA diving, first aid, dancing, horse riding, accents and 4x4 driving.
