Nick Wechsler was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico (USA), on September 3, 1978. The fifth son of 8 boys born to Joseph and Janet Wechsler.
In the 10th grade, the acting bug bit and he joinged drama class. Inspired by the terrible student actors in his school, he began his acting career in high school, turning in what he modestly describes as "awe-inspiring performances" in every succeeding school play. He soon found he was really good at acting and decided to make it his life's work. While in Albuquerque, he performed in several theatrical productions at the local Performing Arts Center. After graduating Highland High School in 1996, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue his dream. Convinced he didn't have much of a chance, he was surprised to land a role shortly after arriving there.
His first year ther was lonely, but he perservered and began to get small parts in various TV Shows, and movies.
In 1997, Nick was an integral part of the syndicated TV Show Team Knight Rider, a sequel to the popular 1980's series Knight Rider. He played the rold of Kevin "Trek" Sanders, a child prodigy who got his name because he was conceived at a Star Trek Convention.
In 1999, Nick auditioned for the WB Show, Roswell, trying out for 4 to 5 different roles. As the casting decisions were getting closer, Nick doubted he would get a part and was surprised when he was offered the part of Kyle.
Thanks to Roswell, Nick is gathering a legion of fans who appreciate his piercing good looks and wonderful sense of humor.
