Cast Profiles

Nick first came to prominence as the character of roly-poly gun-mad Mike Watt in Channel 4's Spaced (a character he originally created in private to amuse best friend Simon Pegg).

Since filming both series of Spaced, Nick has become one of the UK's most sought after comedy actors. He has appeared in the Channel 4 sitcom Black Books; he hosted two series of his own show for Channel 5 (Danger, 50,000 Volts and Danger, Incoming Attack) and co-starred in the feature film Shaun of the Dead.

Nick recently has appeared in the Spine Chillers series for the BBC, the Buena Vista feature film Kinky Boots and he will shortly be seen in the lead role of Hyperdrive, a brand new sci-fi comedy series for BBC2.

Nick starts shooting the feature Hot Fuzz with the Shaun of the Dead team in Spring 2006.
