Mini Biography

Niko Red Star was born in a small country town in central California, to a Portuguese mother and a Russian father. She was a painter and his father designed technology for the military. His parents divorced very early in his childhood. His mother was forced to raise him and his two brothers on a meagerly artist's salary. He began his acting career as a child feigning asthma attacks when his mother smoked cigarettes inside the house. However, he never had any intentions of pursuing a career in acting. Through fate, and after a difficult childhood, he was blessed with the opportunity to move to Dallas, Texas, where he learned how to play the upright bass in college, and received a full scholarship for music at Southern Methodist University. After completing his bachelors of music at S.M.U., he stumbled upon an acting opportunity through a friend and landed the role of R.P. McMurphy in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. He then realized that through theater and eventually the various aspects of film (acting, directing, and camera work), he could satiate his desire to create and more closely live up to the image in which he was created...while making a living. Red Star is working as a professional Upright Bassist, Actor, Director, Cameraman, and Producer, and an amateur Screenwriter, Composer, and Fight Choreographer in the DFW area. His future plans consist of marketing his several T.V. series, films scripts, playing Upright Bass, and never retiring. He also plans on eventually meeting Clint Eastwood in hopes that Clint will offer him a bit of guidance.
