JASIKA NICOLE: ON THE "FRINGE"

Jasika Nicole currently stars as Agent Astrid Farnsworth on the hit JJ Abrams sci- fi series “FRINGE” on Fox

Jasika made her feature film debut in the ballroom-dancing movie “Take the Lead” opposite Antonio Banderas, and went on to star alongside Natasha Richardson and Molly Shannon in the highly praised “Masters of Manhattan” directed by James Burrows as well as “Law and Order: Criminal Intent” and FOX's “The Return of Jezebel James” with Parker Posey and Lauren Ambrose. Miss Nicole will also be seen in the upcoming feature ”She's Out of My League” from Dreamworks with Jay Baruchel and Alice Eve.

Originally from Birmingham, AL, Jasika Nicole attended Catawba College, a small private school in North Carolina, studying theater, voice and dance, before moving to New York City to pursue a career in the arts. She starred opposite Bronson Pinchot in the title role of the musical “Chasing Nicolette,” and has appeared in several stage productions, most notably in the off-Broadway 60's musical “Café A Go Go” and the world premiere of “Believe In Me…A Bigfoot Musical” at the 2004 NYC Fringe Festival.

It was on the sets of film and stage productions that Jasika began drawing and then displaying her work online. Her website has since acquired an enthusiastic fan base. Her illustrations have been commissioned and sold worldwide, and she is currently completing work with a major shopping network on a line of eco-friendly tote bags adorned with her drawings. In addition to freelance illustration, Jasika writes and draws an autobiographical comic entitled “High Yella Magic,” which she is preparing to develop into a graphic novel. Miss Nicole currently resides in Brooklyn, NY.
