Nicole René Bell

Nicole was born in Carson City, Nevada, and grew up in Coleville, California; (A small town in the Eastern Sierra Mountain Range). Growing up, Nicole excelled in sports, lettering all four years of high school in Volleyball, Basketball, and Softball. She also became an avid alpine snow skier and had extensive dance training from the age of 3. Nicole attended the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California to originally pursue Sport Sciences to one day be a trainer for a major sports team. But life had different plans for Nicole! In her first year of college she changed her major to Theatre Arts. The combination of the mentoring of the Theatre Arts staff and her impact of her first performance on stage, Nicole knew that the acting community was where she truly belonged. Her college acting credits included everything from Musicals, to Greek Tragedies, Contemporary Plays, to Classic Shakespeare, and even a few Children's Shows. She also developed a love for the study of the critical theory/analysis of Film, and minored in the subject. When Nicole moved to Southern California, she attended the esteemed Howard Fine Acting Studio, and honed her craft with Howard Fine in his ongoing Scene Study Class.
