Born in Portland, Maine, Nick Wyman arrived at the age of six in New Jersey, where he discovered his lifelong career goal: digging up dinosaurs. Paleontology faded, as did lawyering and being an English professor — the last with an assist from the English department at Harvard College, where his English studies had taken a back seat to Shakespeare, Gilbert & Sullivan, and the Hasty Pudding Show. Two years of study in NYC at the Circle in the Square Professional Theatre Workshop led Nick to a 45-year career of film, television, Broadway and Off-Broadway shows.

The Covid pandemic interrupted Nick's Off-Broadway run in Claudia Rankine's new play "Help" about white male privilege. Last year, Nick filmed several episodes of Hulu's "Future Man" as Abraham Lincoln after being acclaimed by the New York Times for his work as Bryan Cranston's boss in the seven-month run of "Network" (his 16th Broadway show.)

Film audiences have seen him kick Bruce Willis's butt in "Die Hard With a Vengeance," sell Steve Martin a cab in "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles", and dig up a body for Chevy Chase in "Funny Farm." In addition to appearances on numerous television series such as "VEEP," "Boardwalk Empire," "Elementary," and two years as Todd's abusive father Peter Manning on "One Life to Live," Nick has appeared in dozens and dozens of TV commercials as well as voicing a number of ads.

After serving on Actors' Equity's governing council for twenty years, Nick was elected National President of the union and served for five years. He has served on the board of trustees of the Actors Fund and Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS and has been a trustee for twenty years of the Equity-League Pension & Health Funds.

While playing Lennie in "Of Mice and Men" at the Pittsburgh Public Theatre, Nick broke the neck of a beautiful Juilliard-trained actress named Beth McDonald eight times a week. He has spent the past forty years as her husband attempting to make amends. They have three wonderful children: Caitlin, Madeline and Thomas.

Michael X. Martin moved to NYC in 1991 where he's worked on Broadway, Off-Broadway, in various concert halls, and in front of assorted cameras. He's done 18 Broadway shows, originating the parts of Charlie in THE BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY, George Howard in IT SHOULDA BEEN YOU, Johnny Harmon in CURTAINS, and Mr. Tinsworthy in 9 TO 5.

He was also in the original Broadway casts of BRIGHT STAR, CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, ALL SHOOK UP, NICE WORK IF YOU CAN GET IT, and KING DAVID. He was in the recent revivals of THE FRONT PAGE (covering John Goodman), RAGTIME, KISS ME KATE (covering Tony winner Brian Stokes Mitchell), OKLAHOMA! (covering Tony winner Shuler Hensley), 1776, and MAN OF LA MANCHA (again covering Stokes as Don Quixote).

Off-Broadway he played El Gallo in THE FANTASTICKS (his first job as he got off the plane in 1991), Long Jack in CAPTAINS COURAGEOUS at Manhattan Theatre Club, and Kolya in Polly Pen's critically acclaimed musical BED AND SOFA at the Vineyard. He's done 8 shows for Encores at City Center, being one of the first actors to have done all three shows in a single season.

Michael X. has sung on 14 cast recordings. His front-of-camera work includes THE MARVELOUS MRS. MAISEL, MADAM SECRETARY, BOARDWALK EMPIRE, and the LAW AND ORDER trilogy.

At the Kennedy Center he stood-by for Boyd Gaines as Edward Degas in the Broadway bound LITTLE DANCER. Other regional theatre stops include Williamstown Theater Festival, Center Theater Group, the Wilma, and the Cleveland Playhouse. From 1976 to 1991 he worked continuously as a resident company member at California Actor's Theatre, American Conservatory Theatre, Pacific Conservatory for the Performing Arts, and Denver Center Theatre. Around the globe he's done concerts at the Royal Albert Hall in London, the Manaus Opera House in Brazil, and back home at good ol' Carnegie Hall. In his spare time, he draws cartoons.
