Get to Know Me

 

             Hey there, I’m    Nikko Austen Smith   !
A classically trained actress from Houston, Texas. I’m represented by CESD, DPN Talent, Arise Artists Agency, and Seven Summits Pictures & Management.
For me, acting has always been about connection. I’m drawn to stories that evoke empathy and spark real conversation. The kind that stays with you long after the credits roll. I believe art should do more than entertain; it should move people, challenge perspectives, and remind us of our shared humanity.
My creative roots have been shaped by the intentions of David Lynch, Caryl Churchill, Bertolt Brecht, and Assata Shakur. Artists and thinkers who remind me that art isn’t just expression, it’s purpose. It’s protest. It’s life.
