Nick
Member since 1998

Nick is slightly worried to be entering his fourth year as a Dumpsta Player. The whole sordid story began one steamy august night in 1998, when a naive and somewhat timid boy just shy of 21 walked into Bob & Barbara's for the first time and fell under the spell of Galaxy Girl. It would be a few months before Nick donned a black suit and hat for his first role as the Kuntzmann family rabbi and assistant to Aunt Twerp in "Belle Rosen's Hannukah Bazaar". A watershed moment in his career came in August of '99 with the debut of psycho hooker Cunty Skankatore in "Night of 1000 Hookers". That was the moment I realized Ricky could make me do anything he wanted to, commented the actor. And the rest is history. Cunty returned dressed as Lady Liberty for the finale of "Octoberfist" later that year. 2000 saw Nick doing a strip tease "In the Navy" as Captain Battleship during the finale of "Milton Bradlee's Parcheesy Revue", playing washed up lounge singer turned pedophile talent show host Hal Talberts, being undressed by Betsy Cornhole as Nick, Marlee Matlin's boytoy speech teacher in "Children of a Lesser Cornhole", and, in his biggest failure to date, being unable to successfully light a sparkler for Laura Collins in "Darkeye Shadows".

Since 2001 Nick has worked on character building and writing. The creation of Shay Dee Nook, the homophobic rapper outed by his mama in "Prom Trash 5: The Showdown" cemented his position as K-Tell's rap performer.

The characters I play are often cartoonish, but represent the masks worn by real people in their everyday lives. Shay Dee Nook, for example, was a masculine, hip hop stereotype, who was banished to the queer world of feminine catty bitch stereotypes. His phony machismo became useless, transmuted into mere sexual currency. He became a male bimbo, to be jerked around by the likes of Miss Tony. Likewise, my drag character, Cunty Skankatore, is the anti-drag queen: physically awkward, never in control of herself--a frustrated girl who is not very good at head games, she gets what she wants by brute force, hence she performs riot grrrl anthems by Joan Jett and Polly Styrene. The idea was inspired by my own shortcomings as an untrained actor. I knew I was far too clumsy to ever pull off the level of physicality demonstrated by K-Tell's drag queens, so I improvised new characters that played on my weaknesses as strengths.

On the side, Nick spins and produces independent electro pop as DJ Boy Elroy. His other interests currently include traveling, situationism, urban studies and photography.
