Episode 182: Thomas Nicholson

The YVR Screen Scene Podcast

It’s only been a few years since Thomas Nicholson arrived in Canada (from Denmark, by way of England) in search of a new career and purpose, and it’s clear he found both in acting. From Project Blue Book to Supernatural, from Luvia Petersen’s Dog Bite to Netflix mega-hits Virgin River and The Haunting of Bly Manor, Thomas is stealing scenes and making himself known in our Vancouver screen scene – and in recent months, Thomas has made a massive impact in two beloved genre series: as Camarilla operative Jack Orsatti in Freeform’s Motherland: Fort Salem, and as David Bowie in DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. Thomas talks with Sabrina about his time as an investigative journalist in Denmark, what he learned portraying Ziggy Stardust on the popular CW show, his experience playing a Bosnian refugee in the historical escape-drama The Day We Left, whether or not he actually empathizes with the Camarilla on Motherland: Fort Salem, and the joys and challenges of immigrating to Canada.
