Biography

Austin Nichols, a talented individual, spent his formative years in Austin, Texas, until the tender age of eighteen, when he made the bold decision to relocate to Los Angeles, driven by an unwavering passion to forge a career in the world of acting.

Upon completing his secondary education, Nichols enrolled at the prestigious University of Southern California, where he had the privilege of pursuing a degree in creative writing, graduating in the year 2002.

His breakthrough role in the critically acclaimed television series Six Feet Under served as a springboard for his subsequent appearances in a string of notable films, including The Day After Tomorrow, Wimbledon, and Glory Road.

Following his portrayal of Morgan Earp in the gritty western drama Deadwood, renowned director David Milch extended an invitation to Nichols to take on the titular role in his ambitious new television series, John From Cincinnati.
