this is a fan page /tribute Originally from Essex, Nick is one of the new wave of British comic actors up and coming in both television and movies alike.Nick created the persona of roly-poly gun-mad Mike Watt to amuse Simon, who loved the character. Frustrated to see Nick's obvious talents as an actor going to waste, Simon incorporated the character of Mike into the world of Spaced, as Tim's ever faithful childhood friend. He then threatened Nick with a carving knife and said, "If you don't appear in our show, I'll cut your nuts up." How could Nick refuse?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 with Dylan Moran and Bill Bailey, a television/internet collaboration called Free London and appeared in a commercial for Pizza Hut, directed by Spaced and Shaun of the Dead's Edgar Wright. He also co-starred in the feature film Shaun of the Dead and hosted two series of his own show for Channel 5: Danger! 50,000 Volts! and Danger! Incoming Attack!. He has also appeared briefly in Big Train as a builder, and alongside Matt Lucas, David Walliams and Reece Shearsmith in The Crazy Johnathans.Although Nick's body of work has continued to build, he has never bettered his performance as Mr. Bumble on the stage show Oliver, for which he was described as "a great bear of a man". He was nine.
