Lance E. Nichols
Biography
Lance E. Nichols is an actor from New Orleans. Born in the city's 12th ward, he attended McDonough 35 and entered the University of New Orleans in 1973 as a pre-med student. A freshman drama class led him to change majors, and he completed a degree in Dramatic Arts and Communications. After being offered places in seven graduate programs, budget cuts kept him from attending, so he worked loading trucks for UPS before moving to Los Angeles in 1978. His first screen job was on the game show The Dating Game. He became widely known for playing the preacher in the Academy Award nominated The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008) and later appeared in The Campaign (2012). Among his television credits were Cheers, Matlock, and Desperate Housewives. He returned to New Orleans and played dentist Larry Williams on the HBO drama Treme, and he also appeared in Beautiful Creatures (2013).
