After conducting genealogy investigations, their mother discovered that she was half-Jewish, while their father learned that he had German and Scandinavian roots despite believing that he was Jewish. After discovering that, their father converted to Catholicism when he was about 40.

Career

Nick made his acting debut in 2013, in the short movie “Aftermath” as Young James. His brother played Young Charles, so they debuted as film actors together. A year later, Nick lent his voice to Danny in the 2014 movie “Under Wraps” and then voiced Miyoshi for the English voiceover of the “World Trigger” anime series from 2014 to 2015. His first significant role was in 2017, when he voiced Alfred in the “Fire Emblem Heroes” video game.

Starring in “TLKOE”
