About Nicholas :
Bio At the age of 6, Nicholas’ first television appearance was on Good Morning America, as the on-camera reporter covering the annual unveiling of the Christmas windows at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York City.
He became interested in acting soon after, when his father (Craig Braun) began taking acting lessons. As a result, they worked together on two student films in New York City:
"Rocky & Pop’s Search for the Holy Mackerel" and
"The Sick Sense." At 12, Nick had his first professional audition. The role was for the Showtime movie
"Walter and Henry," and he landed the role. He was cast as Henry, the co-title role of John Larroquette’s son, along with Kate Nelligan and James Coburn. The film was nominated for an Emmy and directed by the late Daniel Petrie, Sr. and produced by Norman Jewison. Nicholas was also nominated for a Young Artists’ Award.
In 2002, at age 14, he co-starred in the Showtime film
"Carry Me Home" with Penelope Ann Miller and Jane Alexander.
Nicholas worked on his first major studio film in 2005, as Zach in the Disney summer blockbuster
"Sky High", directed by Mike Mitchell and starring Kurt Russell, Kelly Preston, Michael Angarano and Danielle Panabaker. The movie received great reviews and bowed to high numbers at the box office.
Nicholas worked with Disney again, more recently, in two Disney Channel Original movies.
"Minutemen" premiered in January, 2008, to high ratings, and
"Princess Protection Program" will air in early 2009.
He has landed several guest starring roles for network television shows. Most recently, he worked on
"Cold Case," "Without a Trace," and "Shark."
For more than four years, Nicholas has been privileged to study in the legendary acting coach/director Milton Katselas’ Master Class at the Beverly Hills Playhouse.
Nick graduated in May, 2006, from Saint Mark’s School, just outside of Boston, where he was actively involved in the Drama program. He appeared in Shakespeare’s
"Twelfth Night" and as the title role in Steve Martin’s
"Picasso at the Lapin Agile". He also sang with the a cappella group at St. Mark’s for three years and was the solo vocalist in his junior and senior year.
Since 2006, Nicholas has pursued his academiccareer at Occidental College. He has put college on hold, and is now committed to acting full-time.
Currently, Nicholas is represented by William Morris Agency in Los Angeles and Henderson-Hogan Agency in New York City. He is managed by Adam Levine of Anthem Entertainment.
