Kate Elliott debuted as a troubled teen in 1997 Sunday TV play House of Sticks. In 2003 she was nominated for an NZ Screen acting award, after starring as a philanderer in Harry Sinclair's Toy Love. Elliott's part in 2004 Maurice Gee adaptation Fracture won her awards at festivals in Oporto and St Tropez. TV's The Insiders Guide to Love would garner Elliott two further gongs, at the NZ Screen Awards and the Qantas TV Awards.
Nicole is highly impulsive and someone who lives for the moment, and is always seeking new experiences. So she gets to have lots of fun and push conventional boundaries all the time.
