Australia Nicholas Hamilton is an Australian actor known for his roles in major film and television productions, including IT, Captain Fantastic, and Gen V, who has expanded his career into music and social media content creation.
Nicholas Hamilton has been a partner with The Trevor Project, a nonprofit organization focused on suicide prevention programs for LGBTQIA+ youth.
Nicholas Hamilton, born on May 4, 2000, in Lismore, New South Wales, Australia, began his acting career at age 11. His early exposure to the industry included child modeling before he focused on acting. A significant early achievement was the lead role in the 2013 short film “Time,” where his portrayal of a boy who believed in time travel earned him the Best Male Actor Award at the Tropfest Short Film Festival. This recognition led to his representation by Catherine Poulton, an agent in Melbourne, Australia. He then secured roles in television series like “Mako Mermaids” and short films such as “Jackrabbit” and “Letter to Annabelle,” building a foundation for his career.
Hamilton’s career progressed with his feature film debut in “Strangerland” (2015), starring alongside Nicole Kidman and Hugo Weaving. His breakthrough came with the critically acclaimed film “Captain Fantastic” (2016), where he played Rellian, the structure-craving son of Viggo Mortensen’s character. This role earned him nominations for a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture and a Young Artist Award for Best Supporting Actor, establishing his presence in Hollywood. Following this success, he was cast in two major Stephen King adaptations: “The Dark Tower” (2017) as Lucas Hanson and the horror film “IT” (2017) as the malevolent teenager Henry Bowers, a role he reprised in “IT Chapter Two” (2019).
Beyond acting, Hamilton has diversified his career. He released his debut single, “Different Year,” in January 2021, and has since released several singles and an EP titled “Pretty Young.” He has also built a substantial social media presence, notably on TikTok, where he creates cocktail-making content for over 2 million followers, leading to the release of his recipe book “SIPSY-DOOZY” in May 2025. In television, he has appeared in Prime Video’s “The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh” (2024), Snap Original “Action Royale” (2021), Hulu’s “Love, Victor” (2021), and as the invisible superhero Maverick in Prime Video’s “Gen V” (2023). His upcoming projects include the horror films “Do Not Enter” and “Halloween Store,” and the drama biopic “Hurricanna.”
