Program: Bollywood villain, playschool star, and stage writer: The life of Nicholas Brown

Back when Nicholas Brown was growing up in Western Sydney there was no one who looked like him on TV.

He grew up wanting to act, and became the youngest student ever accepted to NIDA, straight out of school, but his career failed to launch in Australia.

So, he packed his bags, headed to Mumbai and was cast as a Bollywood villain, working with the Brad Pitt of India and meeting producers who had gunshot wounds from their time in the industry.

But Bollywood wasn't the right fit, and when dear friends invited Nicholas home to Sydney to start a new project, he couldn't resist.
