Nicole DuPort

Nicole DuPort is an American actress who was born in Sonoma, California and grew up in San Diego, and began performing as a student at UC Berkeley, where she studied art and art history. A turn as Juliet at an underground Shakespeare theater brought her to the attention of filmmaker Boris Undorf, who wrote the psychological thriller Sonata for her to star in, a role that earned her the Jack Nance Breakthrough Performance Award at VisionFest in New York. After moving to Los Angeles, she took lead roles in Mark Young's art-house thrillers Southern Gothic, alongside Yul Vazquez and William Forsythe, and Tooth and Nail (2007), with Rachel Minor, Rider Strong and Michael Madsen. She went on to work in television and film, and also wrote a comedy series titled BURNS.
