After two series, the show has landed a total of 11 Emmy Awards and received 40 Emmy nominations. Nick himself was recently awarded the Actor Award for Television as part of the Critics’ Choice Association’s Celebration of Asian and Pacific Cinema and Television for his work on the show. He will once again be seen as Nate this spring, when the third series begins airing.
On the feature side Nick recently shot a leading role opposite Jon Hamm and Tina Fey, in the upcoming film Maggie Moore(s), directed by John Slattery, which will be released later this year.

On top of all this, Nick has just finished filming a regular role in the hotly anticipated first series of Sally Wainwright’s The Ballad of Renegade Nell for Disney+.
Nick has received critical acclaim for his live character comedy work as Mr. Swallow. He took his latest hilarious and joyful festive show – A Christmas Carol-ish – to the Soho Theatre for a sell-out run in December. The reviews were nothing short of incredible. The show received a plethora of five star reviews. Nick will be taking another live show – The Best and Worst of Mr. Swallow – on tour this year, as well as to The Duke of York Theatre in London’s West End.
Nick’s Mr. Swallow character has graced our screens on multiple occasions, on shows such as Channel 4’s Cats Does Countdown – with clips of his performances quickly going viral.
