One of his first roles was as Mio in the 1987 fantasy movie Mio in the Land of Faraway, and before landing the role of Tony, Nick played the minor role of a young homeless boy in EastEnders, the Daily Star reports. He also had parts in You Rang, M’Lord? and music videos for Roxette and Mike + The Mechanics.
