From the soap box to the big screen, Nicky Whelan is one Australian actress making big waves in Hollywood.

Starting her career on local shores, Nicky made a name for herself playing Pepper Steiger in the long-running Aussie soap opera Neighbours in 2006. Prior to this, Nicky also played the fictional celebrity “Chrissy Grant” in Russell Coight’s Celebrity Challenge, a spin-off of Russell Coight’s All-Aussie Adventures.

In addition to her budding acting career, Nicky also hosted a number of TV shows, including Coxy’s Big Break (Seven Network), Beyond the Boundary (Network 10) and Melbourne Woman (Seven Network), as well as several live events, including the night racing at Moonee Valley.

But of course, with talent like Nicky’s, it wasn’t long before Hollywood called—so, after a successful career in Australia, Nicky set her sights abroad and headed for the US.

In the States, Nicky’s acting career flourished.  Since her move, Nicky has featured in a number of US television shows, including The Lead of Matador, Entourage, Melrose Place, The League, Satisfaction, Mr. Robinson, Scrubs, Franklin and Bash. She has also featured in Season 5 of SHOWTIME comedy House of Lies, alongside Hollywood stars Don Cheadle and Kristen Bell.

Nicky also found success on the big screen, featuring in several Hollywood films; in 2015, she worked on Terrence Malik’s experimental drama Knight of Cups, starring alongside Natalie Portman and Cate Blanchett. The following year, she also featured alongside Nicholas Cage and Willem Dafoe in the crime thriller Dog Eat Dog, which was showcased at Cannes Film Festival.

Some of Nicky’s other films include The Wedding Ringer, Left Behind, Rebirth, Hall Pass — working opposite Christina Applegate and Owen Wilson—and Hollywood and Wine, working opposite David Spade.  She has starred in two indie films in the US, called Love By Drowning and Do Not Be Deceived, as well as staring in Inconceivable alongside Nicolas Cage and Faye Dunaway.  In 2019 Nicky played Bruce Willis’ leading lady in the new blockbuster, Trauma Center. Nicky has finished work on a film called the Binge, a comedy starring Vince Vaughn.

In 2015, Nicky was handpicked as the face of Nespresso internationally where she appeared in the Nespresso ads globally alongside international Hollywood stars George Clooney and Jack Black.

From home soil to the world’s stage, Nicky Whelan has gone from strength to strength—and with her explosive talent, vibrant personality and bombshell looks, we certainly don’t think she’ll be stopping anytime soon.
