[edit] Biography
Nico draws on his years of experience in the theatre, film and TV. Before joining the Heartbreak High team, he had worked on the TV series Police Rescue and run film and drama workshops for the Australian Film Commission. Working closely with Heartbreak High's directors and producers, Nico has helped to build up the high-quality acting which has won so much praise from the critics.
In helping to develop realistic characters from a whole variety of ethnic backgrounds has been one of the most exiting aspects of working on Heartbreak High for Nico. He feels that the series marks a big shift in the way that life in Australia is represented in TV drama. In the past, many shows haven't reflected all the different cultures which exist side-by-side in Australia's big cities, and Heartbreak High tries to break the mould by acknowledging - and celebrating - the country's cultural mix.
