Nick Curnow is a talented and versatile actor for both stage and screen. Having a Bachelor of Arts in Performance from University of Western Sydney's Theatre Nepean and an MFA (Voice) from NIDA, he has appeared in film and television from no budget student films to award winning shorts, national television and international commercials. He has trod the boards of the big stages across Sydney like the Sydney Opera House Studio, Belvoir St, and The Stables, to the vibrant fringe venues of the Old Fitzroy, New Theatre, or Seymour Centre. His work has also toured nationally to venues like the Melbourne Arts House and Canberra Street Theatre.
Well versed in verse, and a powerful character actor, he has wowed audiences and critics alike with his performances in such shows as the Sydney premiere of James Graham's Ink at the New Theatre, Grain in the Blood for KXT/Virginia Plain and Jumpers for Goalposts (as part of World Pride 2023), the one-man show Fully Committed in 2014 and as part of the 2013 Sydney Fringe (see reviews here), as Martin Luther in Wittenberg (2014), and in Take Me Out as part of the Mardi Gras Festival in 2009. He also brought forth the unique and unsettling Being-in-Progress in Synarcade's Emergence and Build Your Own Being - now an interactive online creation! He appeared on ABC TV's short series Paula's Guide to Love and made an appearance in the Nine Network's Cops LAC.
He is highly sought after for his talent and knowledge as a voice actor and specialist. Experienced in all forms of voice over and narration as well as ADR, he can differentiate between New York and New England, Liverpool and Lancashire, give you a Texan or a Russian, a Kiwi or a Cajun, or any other voice you might need. He has provided voices for Kiwi nut bars, Spotify trailers, recreated the iconic voice of Hal-9000 for SBS Australia, was approved by Peyo's own family to play Vanity Smurf for the international touring Smurf show The Smurfs Save Spring, and helped Korean children learn English through a comprehensive teaching and learning app.
He is passionate about new work and regularly engages with fringe and independent theatre events such as Off The Shelf, Brand Spanking New and Short & Sweet, all of which aim to promote the development and visibility of new writing, new talent and new ideas.
