Dakota Nickels

Dakota Nickels is making his third appearance with Merlyn Productions. He was most recently seen as Carlos and other characters in “Wind of a Thousand Tales” in December, and also played Matthew Charisma (“the handsome man”) in “And Then There Was One” for ChristieFest 2017.

Dakota was born in California, and having once played Big Jule in his high school's musical theatre production of “Guys and Dolls”, his ambition remains to be an actor in theatre and film.

As a young performer he took many theatre, film, and improv classes at MTYP and PTE, as well as four years of hip hop and break dance at the Manitoba Conservatory of Dance, and performed musical theatre with drama class all through high school.

Dakota played the lead role of Mark in the short film “Second Opinions”. He is currently taking classes at The Acting Studio Winnipeg, and performed in “Italian American Reconciliation” with Broken Record Productions for ShanleyFest 2018.
