Nicholas studied at the Birmingham School of Speech and Drama (now the BSA) for three years and, after working in the UK for some time, returned home to Australia to play John Darling in the Jim Henson's Creature Shop production of "PAN". He also played Edgar and Sebastian in the Shakespeare Globe Centre Australia's production of King Lear and The Tempest and Rosencrantz in Hamlet.
