Justin Nickolas

Justin began his career as a model for California surf brand Ocean Pacific and has appeared in shows with the Tony Award-winning South Coast Repertory and the Royal National Theatre. He trained in the musical theatre conservatory at the Orange County High School of the Arts. At 14, Justin auditioned and was cast as part of the ensemble in the Royal National Theatre's production of "An Enemy of the People" with Sir Ian McKellan. His audition piece was a poem by William Yeats, which he read with a British accent for director Trevor Nunn. The only U.S. engagement ran for six weeks in the summer of 1998 at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles. He made a return to the acting world in 2007 as the Finnish video gamer in a U.S. national TV ad campaign for Mountain Dew Game Fuel, directed by Craig Gillespie. Later that year, Justin enrolled in courses at Saddleback College where he studied political science. In the fall/winter of 2023-24, Justin will be making his television debut as Cody Myers in Oxygen's true-crime series "Sin City Murders" and can be seen in Dana Kippel's short "Damaged" (a Watch The Footage production), which is being submitted to both the Sundance and SXSW film festivals. In 2024, he booked his first notable voiceover role on the short film "Two Breaths," an official Tribeca Festival selection. Justin can also be seen in many new and upcoming music videos. He has walked the runway for L.A. Fashion Week, and in May Justin booked a print campaign for luxury brand Global Intuition in a collab with Heroes Motors. The brand has been featured in Vogue World (Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert Denim Campaign) and the Vogue Fall Fashion issue featuring Taylor Swift. He became SAG eligible in 2007 and has been a member of the Actor's Equity Association since 1998. Justin is represented by Arc Artist Management and Stark Talent Agency in Los Angeles.
