Biography
Zeke Nicholson (born May 30, 1989) is a writer, producer and actor. Born in Rhinebeck, New York, USA. He grew up in a small upstate New York town known for its scenic “leaf-peeping,” and his father worked as a college professor. He attended Williams College and later trained and performed at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in Los Angeles. As a writer and actor, Nicholson has contributed to several television series. He was a writer on A.P. Bio (2018–2019), served as executive story editor on Miracle Workers (2020–2021), and wrote on Loot (2022–2024). On the acting side, he has appeared in TV shows including The Good Place (2016), Miracle Workers (2019), and While You Were Breeding (2023). In 2024, Nicholson created, wrote, and executive-produced the short pilot Halfrican American. The story—based in part on true events—is about a biracial man who attends a family cookout with his estranged father and struggles to feel comfortable, eventually finding common ground through humour and familial bonds. Halfrican American (2024) premiered in 2024, and that same year it was nominated for the Grand Jury Award in SXSW’s Independent TV Pilot Competition and won the Special Jury Award at the same festival, shared with Claire Glassford and Sophie Webb as producers.
