Bio: Nik Walker is a Boston native, theme park nerd and proud NYU Tisch alum (Adler, Classical and Stonestreet)- who’s been earning a living in the industry for a decade and counting. He’s been seen on Broadway as Aaron Burr in Hamilton, Otis Williams in Ain’t Too Proud, and as Sir Galahad in the revival of Spamalot; on screen in Blue Bloods, Law and Order SVU, and in the upcoming AppleTV+ film The Instigators, alongside his hometown hero Matt Damon. Cleaners, the animated series that he created and writes with partner Alex Brightman, is in development at Warner Bros. Animation, and his musical, Whiskeyland, is being developed with veteran producers Hunter Arnold and Tina Cocumelli at TBD Theatricals. He is the co-host of the arts/activism show The Chaos Twins, and his movie podcast, Little Justice, is streaming where ever podcasts are imbibed. In the free time between all of this, Nik can either be found writing plays at a coffee shop, teaching incredible NYU students, or annoying his talented wife, Sarah Joyce.
