Peter Nikkos

"My skin is olive, eyes aren't blue and there's no family money safety-net. I'm not the traditional leading-man type. Yes, the road is challenging at best. So what. All that's really needed - really - is some fearless desire and disarming determination with a touch of cunning manifestation. Artists, after-all, shine the scary new light brightest. And the truth is, by being both the catalyst and the clown, the journey ends up being pretty damn cool." - Peter NikkosPeter Nikkos was born in the small town of Karyes near Sparta, Greece and was raised in Chicago. He is an actor, writer, and producer for screen and stage residing in Los Angeles.His most profound inspiration continues to be his disabled sister Dimitra, who passed away many years ago. She taught him to always celebrate blessings, rather than to focus on what may be lacking in one's life.An avid animal lover and advocate; when not in front of the camera or on stage, he lends his support to various charities, among them Star Paws Animal Rescue, Special Olympics, Rescue Train - Race For The Rescues Animal Charity, Aids Project LA, Meals on Wheels, Shriners Hospital for Crippled Children and the American Cancer Society.
