Cecil Taylor Nichols (born March 3, 1959) is an American actor, known for his roles in several films by Whit Stillman including major roles in Metropolitan (1990) and Barcelona (1994), as well as his role in the regular cast of the television series PEN15 (2019–2021).
Nichols is perhaps best known for his roles in the Whit Stillman films Metropolitan,[1] Barcelona, The Last Days of Disco, and Damsels in Distress. His characters in the first three of these films were insecure, stuttering sidekicks to those of the more outgoing Chris Eigeman. Nichols and Eigeman also played minor roles in the independent film The Next Step, released in 1997, of which Nichols was an associate producer.
Nichols has also appeared in the films Boiler Room, Congo, The American President, The Big Easy, and Jurassic Park III, as well as episodes of the TV series Murder, She Wrote, NewsRadio, Chicago Hope, ER, Man of the People, Judging Amy, The Mind of the Married Man, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, 24, Criminal Minds, The Mentalist, Bones, and Double Rush. In 2007 Nichols appeared in the film The Air I Breathe. He can also be seen in the 2018 film Chappaquiddick.
From 2019 to 2021, Nichols was a member of the regular cast in all three seasons of PEN15 on Hulu.
Nichols was born in East Lansing, Michigan and is a graduate of the University of Michigan. He has been married since 1995 to Margarita de Eguilior, a Spanish woman he met during the production of Barcelona. They have two daughters, Alexandra, who was born January 21, 1999, and Lee, born January 30, 2002.
