Nicole Lyn (born Nicole Stephanie Danielle Lyn on February 24, 1978) is a Canadian television actress. She is known for her role in Student Bodies, a Canadian teen comedy series.
Lyn was born in Brampton, Ontario, to Cherl Gabay, a Jamaican woman of African descent, and Peter Lyn, who is Chinese Jamaican. She grew up in the Toronto, Canada, area. As a child, Nicole danced in the National Ballet School's Junior Dance division, and was also a member of the Canadian Children's Opera Chorus. Nicole entered show business when she was offered a spot on a Jordache billboard after accompanying her aunt, a model, to her audition.
On July 10, 2004, Lyn married Dulé Hill, an actor on The West Wing and Psych. On November 28, 2012, after eight years of marriage, Hill filed for divorce from Lyn citing irreconcilable differences.
She auditioned for and was admitted to Claude Watson School for the Arts at age 10. She worked filming commercials, guest starring roles, and had co-starring role on the Canadian kid-com Eric's World (1991). She later auditioned for and attended Cardinal Carter Academy for the Arts in Toronto from grade 7 - 9, where she was a dance major.
She later moved to Jamaica (where her father resides) in 10th grade and attended Belair High School in Mandeville.
