## Biography

Nicholas Vince is a British actor, writer and filmmaker born in May 1958 in West Germany.

Vince subsequently played Kinski in Barker’s *Nightbreed* (1990) and appeared in later films including *Book of Monsters* (2018). He has written short stories and comics set in the *Hellraiser* and *Nightbreed* universes, and published collections such as *What Monsters Do*.
