Nik Walker

Sir Galahad

is a movie nerd, Boston native and unqualified NYU professor, and although he’s enjoyed quite a ride in this industry - on Broadway as A. Burr in Hamilton; on TV in “BlueBloods” and “Law and Order: SVU”; in the upcoming film The Instigators, alongside his hero Matt Damon; and as a writer, most notably developing his animated series “Cleaners” at Warner Bros. Discovery with the incredible Alex Brightman - his real dream... is to spend a night in the secret room inside Cinderella’s Castle at Walt Disney World. WDW is magic; Nik and his very patient wife Sarah visit often, and procuring this stay is their white whale. Again, to be clear, it’s a room INSIDE the castle, y’all. And do you know who’s stayed there? Broadway.com Audience Award nominee, James Monroe Iglehart. James has lovingly tortured Nik for years, and if he got a stay, then Nik should, too. Anyway, Nik thanks God, his mom and fam, (including Jess Nurse and Ryan Garcia, who forced him to name them individually), Stewart Talent, The Boothe Group, and House Buckets. “Dedicated to my Uncle Bob, who taught me how to laugh.” @nikkywalks
