Coming from three younger half-siblings, Nicholas Alexander Chavez was born in 1999 in Houston, Texas. He then lived between Denver and Arvada, Colorado, after his parents divorced when he was only five years old. Describing himself as a precocious child, he showed an early interest in the theater, recreating in his room the blessing of the Eucharist, which he saw at mass on Sundays.
Although he played on the East High School football team, he dropped out shortly after to join the theater department led by his mentor, Matt Murphy. He portrays Atticus Finch in the end-of-year show adapted from To Kill a Mockingbird. Very gifted, Nicholas Chavez applied for theater programs at different universities and was accepted everywhere. But eventually, he moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career.
In addition to casting, he works as a car dealer but struggles to land roles due to the pandemic in 2020.
A year later, he was nevertheless chosen to join the cast of the series General Hospital for three years. A series for which he won the Emmy for Best Male Revelation in a Drama Series. This does not prevent him from taking his first steps in a feature film, Crushedfor the Tubi platform, in 2022.
But it is above all the year 2024 that makes his career take off, since he is both one of the two heroes of the horror series Monsters: The Story of Lyle and Erik Menendez on Netflix and of the series Grotesquerie for FX, both created by Ryan Murphy.
