Nicole the person...
My birth name is Nicole Leanne Willig. I grew up in a log cabin in Fallston, Maryland with my Mom- Jackie, my Dad- Craig, my Brother- Josh, and my Sister- Megan. My Grandparents lived up the hill from us. I went to middle and high school across the street from my neighborhood. I have a wonderful extended family of Uncles, Aunts, Cousins and a Step-mom Donna. I attended Frostburg State University in western MD and I graduated in 2005 with a degree in Theater and Dance. The summer after junior year of college, I interned and lived in Appleton, Wisconsin. After college, I moved to Cape May, New Jersey and worked for a year. In January 2006, I went on a children's theater tour in the mid-west. After tour, I returned to my mom's house in Bel Air, MD. I toured Maryland for a while and was also engaged. The time came where I had to advance in my acting career, so I ended everything and moved to Los Angeles, California on December 2, 2007. I've lived in Hollywood for 3 years now and I LOVE IT!
I enjoy acting, directing, dancing, bowling(I was 9th in the MD State Tournament), oil painting, driving my jacked up Jeep Wrangler, listening to music, making new friends, going to the hottest clubs, seeing new movies, laying out at the beach, modeling, and anything else artsy!

Nicole the performer...
The only reason I got into acting in the first place is because I was obsessed with Jonathan Taylor Thomas (Home Improvement). I wanted to meet him so badly that I thought the only way was to become an actress and go to Hollywood. So I auditioned for my first play in middle school and I got in. I wasn't that good because I was shy. In high school, I auditioned for a musical and I got a really good part. I found out that I actually have talent. I had a lead role in the rest of the productions at Fallston High School. I went to Frostburg State University and studied theater as an actress and a director. I studied dance as well. Since age 5, I have been dancing in ballet, jazz, and modern. I was in over twenty productions at FSU and I directed two. I was also the president of the Dance Company. May 2005 I graduated with a 3.6 GPA, a major in Theater, and a minor in Dance. After college I went on a 6 month tour in the mid-west with Prairie Fire Children's Theater. When I returned to Maryland, I went on another 6 month tour on the east coast with Children's Theater Association. At CTA I wrote, directed, and starred in a one woman show, Wild West Tall Tales. While in Baltimore, I performed in a few plays around the community and some films (including "Featured Dancer" in Step Up 2). I currently live in Hollywood, California. Here I've done amazing things. Every Friday at the Underground Theater, I played the Eavesdropper(a punk gang member) in Eavesdropper, LA's longest running play. I am a member of the Underground Theater and the Culver City Public Theater. For a month, I filmed a pilot for MTV called Excess All Areas by BASE Productions. The pilot is about me and my "excessive partying." It didn't get picked up. My episode of Parental Control, where I am a dater, is aired on Feb. 25th, 2009 on MTV. I have worked on numerous projects in LA including a new webisode Rockville which they paid for me to join AFTRA. I signed with The Brogan Agency commercially and with Diverse Talent Group for voice-over. I directed a play during the summer for Culver City Public Theater, the play was "The Enchanted Cottage." I've been in over 6 plays and shot with over 6 photographers I am still looking for a manager.
