About Nicole

I’ve been performing for as long as I can remember, starting with elaborate living room productions and sock puppets with my little brother. Not much has changed, really. I still love the same things: making something with other people, finding what’s true and specific in a character, and discovering what happens when everyone brings their piece to the story.

I’m especially drawn to film, television and comedy, and I do my best work in the collaborative part of the process, working with directors, actors and crews to find the moments that feel alive, surprising and real. For me, performing has always been equal parts play, craft and connection.

Nicole Santora is a Pacific Northwest actor whose screen credits include Shrill, Grimm, Leverage and Potato Dreams of America.
