Eric Michael Nelsen is an American actor and producer whose career began in childhood and quickly blossomed into a multifaceted presence on stage, screen, and behind the scenes. Born on June 26, 1991 in West Palm Palm Beach, Florida, he moved to New York City at the age of thirteen, where his early exposure to theater ignited a passion that would define his professional trajectory. Nelsen first attracted national attention when he originated the role of Brett Sampson in the original Broadway production of 13, a landmark show that showcased his musical and dramatic talents. He later returned to Broadway in the critically acclaimed play The Inheritance, for which he earned a Tony Award as a producer, cementing his reputation as a shrewd and creative force in the theatrical world. In addition to his stage work, Nelsen has built an extensive television résumé, appearing as a series regular in the Hulu revival of All My Children and taking on recurring roles in high‑profile series such as The Affair, The Blacklist, Girls, The Following, NCIS, Blue Bloods, and iCarly. His film credits include a supporting turn in the Universal Pictures thriller A Walk Among the Tombstones opposite Liam Neeson and a notable appearance in Coming Through the Rye alongside Chris Cooper. Nelsen’s work as a producer has earned him multiple Daytime Emmy Awards, including a historic win at age twenty‑three that made him the youngest producer ever to receive an Emmy. He has produced the Emmy‑winning digital drama The Bay and the indie feature Wakefield, starring Bryan Cranston and Jennifer Garner. On a personal note, Eric married actress Sainty Reid in Fort Worth, Texas, on November 29, 2013; the couple welcomed their daughter Molly Morgan Nelsen on October 1, 2019, and they currently reside in Fort Worth.
