But one of his most famous roles was in 1978's The Idol, where Nick played the part of the dedicated athletic team coach. It's a coming-of-age story that many young men who've ever played sports can identify with, only this is porn so of course things get nasty in a hurry. In this film, sexually unsure of himself (and worried about the lack of interest in his girlfriend), young athlete Gary can't ignore his sexual attraction towards his coach, who he also admires and respects. The Idol showcased Nick's acting talents as well as his buff physique and thick manhood. Without a doubt, Nick masters a presence when he appears in a scene, both clothed or otherwise. Unconfirmed, he may have tried his hand in mainstream entertainment, including as an extra in the 1979 hit movie The China Syndrome.
But it was probably earlier in his career, in 1977's Hot Truckin'(as Larry LeBlanc) where most fans first took notice of him in adult movie theatres. The scene of Nick and Gordon Grant in the back of a truck was super-hot for audiences, as these two beefy guys get connected. Nick also heads off to pay a visit to a public men's room in a park and does a glory hole scene with Johnny Dillon. Nick's staying power in the business remained strong. When Al Parker was looking to cast a couple of hunky forest rangers in 1984's Rangers, Al picked Nick (and Chris West) to make sure there was plenty of hard woodies in woods, with an assortment of outdoor men, including campers, fishermen, and loggers. 
Please stay tuned for part three of Nick.
