In 2008, his age was confirmed to be 35, reestablishing his birthday as December 31, 1972. As of 2012, his birth date stands at October 11, 1972. 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:
“All we know
Is that we are a little early, that
Today has that special, lapidary
Todayness that the sunlight reproduces
Faithfully in casting twig-shadows on blithe
Sidewalks. No previous day would have been like this.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“The human spirit is itself the most wonderful fairy tale that can possibly be. What a magnificent world lies enclosed within our bosoms! No solar orbit hems it in, the inexhaustible wealth of the total visible creation is outweighed by its riches!”
—E.T.A.W. (Ernst Theodor Amadeus Wilhelm)
