Nicole's Story...
Meet Nicole Carpenter, a vibrant actor hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, whose journey into the world of performing arts started practically as soon as she could talk. Growing up, she was that kid who would belt out early 2000s country music with every ounce of passion she had. Her early years were filled with school talent shows, singing lessons, and creating home videos with her parents camcorder. A conservatory-trained actor, Nicole honed her skills at The Boston Conservatory, graduating with a BFA in Musical Theatre. Instead of chasing Broadway lights like many of her peers, she chose to return to her Atlanta roots to pursue a career in film and television.
Her journey was underway when she landed her very first audition, with a co-star in Casper Kelly’s Adult Swim special Final Deployment 4. This was followed with her portrayal of a younger Kelly Lynch in David E. Kelly's series Mr. Mercedes. One of her most notable breakthroughs was her role in the Blumhouse feature Ma, where she played the teenage version of Missi Pyle. The film, starring Octavia Spencer and Juliette Lewis, became a summer blockbuster, opening doors to new opportunities. Throughout her time in Atlanta, Nicole fostered valuable relationships with local casting directors and continued to hone her craft at Mornell Studios and BGB Studios. In 2023, she made a dramatic entrance on BET's Sistas, generating buzz for her portrayal of Mindy opposite series regular Trinity Whiteside. Weeks later, she booked a supporting role in the upcoming Christmas movie Festival of Trees, set for a 2024 holiday season release on streaming platforms.
Beyond her career, Nicole is happily married, sharing her life with her amazing husband, Taylor. In a surprising twist of fate, Taylor's job brought them back to the Northeast. She's a proud golden retriever mom, a culinary enthusiast, and an avid hiker. She aspires to explore all the national parks in the US and beyond, with her latest adventure being the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, a breathtaking 26-mile journey. Nicole's adventurous spirit extends beyond the screen, adding a captivating layer to her multifaceted personality. With her family still rooted in Atlanta, Nicole is well-positioned as a local hire, making her a versatile talent with an exciting future ahead.
