Nikki Taylor Melton

Rochelle and surrounding communities have also been home to some of Hollywood's biggest celebrities (Joan Allen and Cindy Crawford to name a couple) and several movies have been filmed on location there. Nikki found her way into acting when she was just four years old. A photographer that had shot some yearly photos of Nikki liked the results from the shoot and proceeded to show some talent agents in the area. Soon Nikki was lucky enough to acquire representation in Chicago and in LA. Coincidentally at the same time she was cast as Raven, an adorable little vampire in the award-winning short Teenage Bikini Vampire and was also cast in her first feature film The Rockville Slayer. During this time she was also contacted by Mali Finn, one of Hollywood's top casting directors to audition for the role of Jennifer Connelly's daughter in Dark Water. Nikki eventually lost the role to actress Ariel Gade but with her path already set and seemingly being led by fate, decided to immerse herself full force into the world of entertainment. Her willingness to work hard, mannerism and dedication has helped her greatly in her achievements.
