Nick Puga, a Chilean-American actor, writer, and producer, embarked on his career in Miami, Florida, where he initially gained experience starring in commercials while pursuing a degree in Theatre at Florida International University.

Nick's versatility has allowed him to be involved in a diverse range of projects. He garnered attention with his comedic music video "PPL B TXT'N 2MUCH", which caught the eye of MTV executives and won several awards on the short film festival circuit. Additionally, he lends his voice to the Adult Swim series "Minoriteam" and has worked as a producer on several episodes of MTV's Emmy Award-winning series "True Life".

As a commercial actor, Puga has starred in over 100 national television commercials, including several high-profile Super Bowl ads and major national campaigns alongside notable celebrities such as Matthew Broderick, Dennis Haysbert, T-Pain, Glenn Dorsey, Nick Price, Bear Grylls, Jon Lovitz, and director Todd Phillips.
