Nicholas Thurkettle - Voice Actor

Dozens of variants of the head of Jack Skellington, sorted with letter and number codes, mounted on toothpicks in a Styrofoam panel

To explain the concept of autism masking to my partner I told her how for "A Nightmare Before Christmas" they built a separate head for every possible expression and mouth shape Jack Skellington needed, and how it becomes habit to constantly wonder what face you need to summon to pass for human.

It's funny to suddenly be juggling three writing projects when...wait, no funny isn't the right word, what word do I mean...sorry my brain isn't working did I mention I was juggling three writing projects?

I'm also opening myself up for freelancing contracts again on a VERY SHORT TERM BASIS.

If you have need of English Dub script adaptation, narrative design, voice direction, text editing.... Let's talk.

In the last month, Marin has had their gender affirming surgery pulled out of reach, and now they’ve been laid off.

I’m doing what I can to support them here but if anyone has any help they can offer

I can’t bear to see them lose hope like this

Took this picture one night walking back to my hotel at a film festival in a little town in Oklahoma and COME ON I was probably being haunted at that exact moment.

guys, reading & listening comprehension is important. so many things are going on rn, & it’s easy to accidentally spread misinfo/misrepresent something if you don’t check a video/article thoroughly or make sure you trust a source before you speak on it. reactionary posting is nobody’s friend.

I'm permanently replaced in the game, and because of the related drama I stopped pursuing fan events for awhile. But since there are still people out there who enjoyed the original voice, this felt like a good opportunity to get back out there and represent the work I did.

I'll have stills from ZZZ plus these two commissioned Lycaon pieces in both 8x10 and 11x17 at the March 8th appearance at Requiem Cafe in Anaheim. Not sure yet if we'll have Pinnec stills - haven't got a sense yet for the size of his fanbase. But it will be great to be meeting fans in person again!

It would be great if more events followed, but that's really up to fans communicating about it with cons. Also - I spent a month in Connecticut (Waterford/New London area) after college and I've always wanted to go back.

Someone else in the Midwest commented on the Instagram announcement lamenting the distance. Like I told them - if there's a con in the area you like, tell them I'm bookable through Celebworx and I love traveling out that way!

Here we go! Next Sunday, March 8th, at Anaheim's Requiem Cafe, I'll be signing Lycaon prints and doing pictures/meet and greets for their Furry Day. It's my first in-person event in a year and I look forward to the conversations!

Waited until my sister posted pics so I knew what she would be comfortable with having out there - but yeah, here are a few shots of Uncle Nick helping manage the Disneyland expedition. It was little Mary's first time!

A frame from Terror of Mechagodzilla (1975). We are looking at a man in an olive sweater and white collared shirt from a high angle. He's also got some yellow-tinted shades on and has his fist clenched in the classic fist-shaking position. The caption reads, "Damn those earthlings!" Not pictured: Godzilla; Mechagodzilla; earthlings

"You need to immediately fire off a very loud take before you could possibly understand any of the underlying issues or else" is one of the worst ideas social media has ever propagated.

A 19th century Doctor stands behind a grimy patient in an asylum - from a stage production of "Dracula."

Flashback to playing Renfield in a stage production of "Dracula," where I got to drink rat blood, escape from a gimmicked straitjacket, stab someone with a lobotomy probe, and generally chew the scenery in any way I could imagine.

Great insight in an audition workshop today that I want to tattoo on my brain because it articulates something essential in a really simple way and applies to both film and VO:

"If you play back your audition and can imagine anybody else doing what you did, you didn't put enough work in."

I grew up with major food sensitivity during an age when people were ignorant about its causes, I was just the "picky eater" who made life difficult for others. It's been a lifelong process expanding my palate, but holy shirt when I find a food I love now I LOOOOOOVE it. Life's too short not to.

The shameful answer is that my favorite is usually whichever one I'm eating right now. Shredded beef always hits. Today I'm having one with "Shredded oven-roasted pork marinated with smoked BBQ sauce, diced pineapple, onions and bell pepper." plus a vegan one with spinach/corn/mushroom.

Hot take - empanadas rule.

None of us expected that we'd have to expose ourselves to malice and abuse in order to stand up for some rights and ethics within the profession we love. Thank you for your voice, your resilience, and the courage to be passionately imperfect. We need more of it.

Writing some some cool stuff today. And what's cooler? You might even see it someday.

These thieves keep stealing blueprints from my theft empire!

Not sure why the new movie is going to be called "Minions & Monsters" when "Minions: The Bananality of Evil" is right there.

During our Disneyland trip, my nephew kindly asked me if I was having any fun. I told him that, for grownups, helping kids have fun is a kind of fun. He looked at me like that was the dumbest thing he'd ever heard.

Snapshot from the Fitbit app showing yesterday's step count - 26,296 steps, 12.97 miles, 4,397 calories burned

Snapshot from the Fitbit app showing today's step count - 19,956 steps, 10.05 miles, 3,611 calories burned

The final tally after two days of helping my sister take her 9-year old and 5-year old through Disneyland and California Adventure. Fitbit's calorie count doesn't factor in the miles when I was carrying the 5-year old. Hope we made some good memories for them. Excuse me while I pass out.
