Born November 30, 1966 in Eastleigh, Hampshire, attended Toynbee High School, Barton Peveril College, then studied English Literature and Drama at the University of Bristol. Upon graduation, Nichols planned to become an actor and studied at the American Academy of Music and Drama in New York. He returned to London in 1991. It took a while to join the actors' union, so Nichols had to work in bars and restaurants. For the next eight years he acted sporadically as an actor at the Battersea Arts Center, at the Finborough Theater, at the West Yorkshire Theater, at the Birmingham Theater. This was followed by three years of work at the Royal National Theater, where Nicholls played small roles and was a supporting actor in Tom Stoppard's Arcadia, Sophia Treadwell's The Machinale, John Osborne's Invalid Evidence and Chekhov's The Seagull. During this period, he began working part-time as a script reviewer, and then got a job as a script review editor in the BBC radio drama department. This was followed by contracts to edit scripts for London Weekend Television and the television production company Tiger Aspect.
The beginning of his independent work belongs to this period: in co-authorship with a university friend, director Matthew Warhas, he wrote the script based on the play by Sam Shepard "Sympatico". At the same time, Nicholls' first original screenplay was written - the waiters comedy At Your Service. Subsequently, the BBC Corporation acquired the rights to it. "Sympatiko" was filmed in 1999. The film stars Nick Nolte, Jeff Bridges, Sharon Stone, Catherine Keener and Albert Finney. By this time, Nicholls had already had the opportunity to devote himself entirely to writing: pretty soon the first TV show based on his script was released in Britain - the hour-long film I Saw You (directed by Tom Vaughn, starring Paul Rees and Faye Ripley) - he received a prize for Best Short Drama at the Annual Banff Television Festival.
Nicholls' next work was four episodes for the hit TV series Cold Feet, which later earned him a BAFTA nomination. Another British Academy Award nomination soon followed for Much Ado About Nothing for Shakespeare in a New Way, starring Damian Lewim and Sarah Parish. Sarah Parish later co-starred with Peter Capaldi in a television play originally written by Nichols Aftersun and directed by Peter Lydon. Nicholls' latest work for television is a screenplay based on Thomas Hardy's novel Tess of the D'Eberville. The short series is directed by David Blair and starred by Gemma Arterton.
Nichols' first novel, The Ten Points Question, was dedicated to one of the episodes of the Richard and Judy Book Club television program. Subsequently, he wrote two more novels - "Understudy" and "ONE DAY" .
Nichols turned his first novel into a script; The Ten Point Question was directed by Tom Vaughan and stars James McAvoy, Rebecca Hall and Alice Eve. Nicholls' next screenplay was an adaptation of Blake Morrison's autobiographical novel When Did You Last See Your Father? - Anand Tucker directed the film based on this script, starring Colin Firth, Jim Broadbent and Juliet Stevenson.
Nicholls is currently writing his fourth novel and is completing a screenplay based on Charles Dickens's Great Expectations.
