He was first portrayed by twins Marco and Stefan Flores in 1989, followed by Griffin Ledner from 1990 to January 1991. Child actor John Nelson-Alden played the role from 1991 to 1994, until the character was shipped off to boarding school. Upon Nick's return, he was eighteen years old and played by Joshua Morrow, having been rapidly aged. Morrow continues to play Nick today. On-Air On-Soaps described Morrow as "One of the most underrated actors in daytime, who delivers real and honest performances day after day, no matter what the material." In May 2007, Nick was "killed off" in a plane crash, but was later revealed to be alive that October.

Famous quotes containing the words casting and/or creation:
“This I do know and can say to you: Our country is in more danger now than at any time since the Declaration of Independence. We don’t dare follow the Lindberghs, Wheelers and Nyes, casting suspicion, sowing discord around the leadership of Franklin D. Roosevelt. We don’t want revolution among ourselves.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“Man is a masterpiece of creation if for no other reason than that, all the weight of evidence for determinism notwithstanding, he believes he has free will.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
