Nicholas is Molly's devoted, perpetually multitasking assistant in Loot — part stylist, part confidant, part long-suffering enabler of his employer's whims. Sardonic and impeccably dressed, he is the friend who tells Molly the truth she needs to hear, even as he profits from her excess and quietly dreams of a bigger life of his own.
His arc pushes him to want more than reflected glory. As the foundation gives everyone around Molly a sense of purpose, Nicholas wrestles with his own ambitions — acting, independence, identity — and his loyalty is repeatedly tested by the question of whether serving Molly is a career or a cage. The show gives him some of its funniest, and unexpectedly tender, beats.
Joel Kim Booster's quick, deadpan wit makes Nicholas a scene-stealing fan favorite.
