Nick Damici on AllMovie

Sporting a slightly tough, ethnic look that spoke to his ease with urban material -- a proclivity that would mark his project choices time and again -- character actor Nick Damici made one of his first major onscreen impressions among audiences as the profane Detective Richard Rodriguez in Jane Campion's cerebral psycho-sexual thriller In the Cut (2003). After a bit part in Oliver Stone's docudrama World Trade Center, Damici emerged as a scenarist, scripting and essaying a lead in the horror opus Mulberry Street (2007) -- about a bizarre virus that turns the population of New York City into a group of carnivorous, rat-like creatures.
