Welcome back to Nothing Shines Like Dirt: Empowering Actors to Create episode 5. Today we have Nik Walker; actor,writer, poet,musician, movie nerd, and above all human. We have a little convo about his new musical Whiskeyland, being true to yourself, and you never know where an audition will take you!

A graduate of the acting program at NYU Tisch, he's been fortunate enough to work at some of America's best theaters- The Old Globe, La Jolla Playhouse and Westport Country Playhouse, to name a few- and made his Broadway debut in 2013 with Motown the Musical. His rock fable Whiskeyland! is currently being developed through Richard H. Blake's Last Call Theatricals, and he recently completed work on his latest, a 3 hander thriller entitled Uncle Jackie. Nik lives in Queens with his lovely bride-to-be Sarah and their cat, Ferris.
