Newcomer Michael Dentico has been cast as young Nicholas. The demanding role has granted the talented young stage actor an opportunity to display his emotional range on screen.

As a student of the Academy of Theatre Arts in Western New York, Michael was a standout performer with a generous and passionate work ethic, seemingly beyond his years. Prior to starting work on Nicholas of Myra, Michael landed his first professional stage role in Western New York, portaying yet another character named Nick in Studio Arena Theatre's production of A Thousand Clowns.
