Biography

Nicholas Cirillo is a dynamic American actor and producer who has rapidly become a standout talent in the "New Hollywood" landscape. Raised in North Carolina, he trained at the Actor's Group in Winston-Salem before making his mark with a series of high-impact television roles. He is perhaps most widely recognized for his recurring performance as Barry in the Netflix hit Outer Banks, where his portrayal of a volatile local drug dealer became a fan favorite. His ability to bring a sense of unpredictable danger and complexity to his characters has made him a go-to choice for directors seeking an edgy, authentic screen presence. Beyond the marshlands of the OBX, Nicholas has built an incredibly diverse resume, guest-starring in major franchise projects like Marvel’s She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (as Cousin Ched) and Rian Johnson’s critically acclaimed Poker Face. To be honest, it is his transition into the indie film world that truly shows his range, with notable performances in the 2024 gangster drama Fresh Kills and Kevin Smith’s The 4:30 Movie. In 2023, he co-founded the production company Enzo Entertainment, signaling his move toward more creative control in the industry. As of 2026, he continues to expand his reach with roles in the latest season of Black Mirror and the true-crime miniseries Murdaugh: Death in the Family.
