Nicholas Irving is a former special operations direct action sniper in the 3rd Ranger Battalion for the U.S. Military. He is now working as a reality TV personality.
Irving was born on in Fort Meade, Maryland on the US Army post Fort George G. Meade growing up the son of two enlisted soldiers. He wasn’t a great student — the only A he ever got was in junior ROTC — and his discipline needed some work.
In 2012, Irving wrote and published Team Reaper: 33 Kills...4 months. In 2015, he wrote and published with Gary Brozek a book about his time in the military fighting the War on Terrorism called The Reaper: Autobiography of One of the Deadliest Special Ops Snipers. On February 2, 2015, The Weinstein Company acquired the television rights to make a miniseries out of the autobiography. On March 5, 2015, NBC picked up the miniseries from Weinstein.
Irving joined the U.S. Military. Failing a colorblindness test ended the young man’s hopes for joining the SEALs, but Irving took to life as a Ranger. Before serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, he left his wife at Fort Benning. After leaving his wife, Irving took a SR-25 rifle with him, calling it Dirty Diana. After serving his country, he decided to work in television. Irving first served as legal and business affairs associate in 911: The Bronx (TV series documentary 2008), The IT Crowd (2008–10), and Never Mind the Buzzcocks (2008–11). Irving served as production lawyer on PhoneShop (2009–10). He next served as legal and business affairs associate on The Rob Brydon Show (2010), QI Genesis (TV Movie documentary 2011), and QI (2009–13).
