Nick has also acted on the set of several TV shows including Ghost Whisperer, Cold Case, and The Truth Below on well-known TV broadcasting stations including CBS and MTV. Thurston has also appeared in The Lake, an online TV series created by Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc..
Thurston was born in Oakland, California on December 7, 1987.
Thurston portrays Blue Eyes in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. Here, Thurston plays the role of a young, rebellious, and stubborn ape. This is Thurston’s first experience with a blockbuster movie, as all of his prior experience was with small scale, low budget indie productions.
Thurston plays the role of Brian Leary, the primary protagonist in White Irish Drinkers. Here Thurston plays an artistic young man, who is misunderstood and underappreciated by his family and friends, who find themselves content with labor intensive work, and have no aptitude to go on to higher education. Brian, surrounded by a dreary reality, finds an escape in his art. This escape allows Brian to avoid the life of crime his brother has chosen, and to block out the problems that life has presented to him. "The Observer describes Brian as " a boy with a conscience who turns the basement room under the bagel shop in his parents’ building into a secret art studio, where he creates impressionistic charcoal drawings and watercolor sketches of the city around him, donning headphones to drown out the noise and shouting between his parents."
