Austin Nichols Biography
Born: April 24, 1980
Multi-talented actor Austin Nichols effectively straddled industry films and smaller, low-budget independent productions when he debuted onscreen in the early 2000s. With a fresh-faced, clean-cut look that spoke to his heightened versatility in many roles, Nichols landed his first major feature assignment in Richard_Loncraine's quirky romantic comedy Wimbledon (2004) -- with a memorable turn as a snotty, obnoxious American tennis player trying desperately to seduce Kirsten_Dunst. Following small roles in the disaster film The_Day_After_Tomorrow (2004) and Jerry_Bruckheimer's period basketball saga Glory_Road (2006), Nichols "went indie" with a part in the low-budget drama Lenexa,_1_Mile. He also landed a plum role on the HBO series John_From_Cincinnati, as a mystically powered surfer, but that program failed to connect with an audience and received a cancellation after only one season. Off-camera, Nichols was a champion athlete who ranked third in the international pantheon of water skiers and won the 1997 Pan American championship in that sport; he also demonstrated great prowess in equestrianism, golf, and tennis, which more than prepared him for the Wimbledon role.
