| Nick's Bio A native of Albuquerque, New Mexico, newcomer Nick Wechsler grew up not that far from the setting of "Roswell," a show that marks his second starring role on a network series. (His first was as Trek in "Team Knight Rider") The fifth in a testosterone-tilted brood of eight sons, Wechsler grew up in Albuquerque, where his parents and most of his siblings still live. His father is a sheet-metal worker; his mother is a secretary for the U.S. Forest Service. He began his acting career in high school, turning in what he modestly describes as "awe-inspiring performances" in every succeeding school play. Wechsler moved to Hollywood immeditately after graduating from high school, and spent the next six months trying to break into the business. He soon landed a small role as a purse-stealing punk in the TV movie "Full Circle." Shortly after, he was cast as Kevin "Trek" Sanders, a child prodigy conceived at a "Star Trek" convention, in the syndicated series "Team Knight Rider." He also appeared in "Silk Stalkings,", "Lazarus Man" and the feature film "The Perfect Game." He currently resides in Los Angeles. From the WB Roswell Press packet |
