Shameless
He might not be the main character onShamelessbut Nick , play by Victor Onuigbo , has definitely captured both viewers ’ essence and fears . He has a chequered history and as a character is a bit of a rough diamond who most can relate to in many regard – after all , who has had a perfect past ?
Still , it ’s when Nick ’s dysfunction is taken a step further that he really get audiences ’ attention . Do we like him , fear him , or shun him ? He is a distressing secret in theShamelessseries . Here are ten things fans might not know about Nick :
More than a gamble
Thecharacter of Nickis play by Victor Onuigbo who shore a stretch in acting quite by chance . report say he pop off toStanford Universityafter school , before buzz off a job withCaesars Gaming IndustryinLas Vegas , Nevada . While the remuneration was good in the earth of gambling , Victor realizedLas Vegaswasn’t really in his essence .
This was when his focal point commence to dislodge to his first passion , acting . Soon after he try out for a role inShameless , and the rest , you could say , is history …
Son of an addict
While Nick is a minor character in the actualShamelessseries , he has a story which fully captures viewers ’ aid . Viewers see that he was the son of an abusive father who had a chronic addiction to drug , among other personal weaknesses . Also , his living suffered as a resultant role of all the dramatic event going on in his life while he was growing up .
His father spent the family ’s money and resources support his drug habit and Nick ’s outlook on life and disposition have been negatively impacted on by his Fatherhood ’s sins .
A bike for crack
A turning point in Nick ’s life came when his Church Father took his loot bike and deal it for some crack to feed his growing addiction . This incident leftNick completely devastatedand was a defining mo for him .
The story ofShamelesssuggests this was the commencement of a series of anger outbursts which would color Nick ’s future - irrevocably . buff can sympathize with the poor character , who really was kicked when he was down , as a nestling . Who engage a bike from a poor kid ? Apparently , Nick ’s father does .
Onwards, to Juvenile Hall!
buff of theShamelessseries might straight off think ofJuvenile Hallwhen they think of Nick . Let ’s look it – he is nonadaptive , and quite frankly grave , which is why he is affiliated with the correctional adeptness . Still , not all viewers know the status under which he landed up in Juvenile Hall .
Apparently , the sore and bruised Nick lashed out so severely at his father , he had to be detained . It had a tidy sum to do with the bike ! This incident led to him being detained in Juvenile Hall .
Nick and Carl meet up
Nick and Carl become good supporter . They have that hip record hop / gangster vibration going on . WhileJuvenile Hallcame as a curse into Nick ’s life , if it was n’t forJuvenile Hall , fans might never have meet Nick and Nick might never have met Carl !
This was where the friendship between Carl and Nick grew . While correctional facility relationships are n’t always the best ones , or most proactive ones ( with occupant hear aberrant behavior from each other ) , for Nick , his friendly relationship with Carl turned out to be a blessing and a turning point in his life .
A place to call ‘home’
As it is will all delinquents who have done their time , so to verbalize , Carl does n’t stay forever inJuvenile Hall . He is finally released from Juvie , as they callJuvenile Hall , but does n’t blank out his friendship with Nick , or Nick ’s quandary .
On Nick ’s eighteenth birthday , he fall live with Carl atGallagher House , himself having nowhere else to live . This gives him a place to call ‘ home ’ and a sense of family and belonging . The two continue to be friends .
Reaching for hope and restoration
It would appear that spirit is on the ‘ up ’ for Nick . A new dwelling and a new friend and a good sense of family and belonging give Nick – and his fans – something to smile about . As part of his healing summons , he manages to get postponement of a bike which reminds him of his childhood motorcycle .
unquestionably a move towards restoration . Carl later has his nitty-gritty typeset on a fille called Dominique . Nick gives Carl the estimation to buy a bicycle for Dominique , to win her heart .
The hammer accessory
The fact that Nick carries a hammer around like an accoutrement is cause for worry . He carries it ‘ club’-style with him wherever he goes and this seems to fit within the whole gangster prototype , himself and Carl , and others perpetrate off – which gives the series the edge which viewers so bed .
At sentence , it would look the hammer is an accident wait to happen , and this accouterment does finally be Nick . It should be noted , a mortal with a violent temper should not carry a hammer around .
Stolen bike mayhem
When Nick loses his raw bike , he is devastate . The mobster in him need revenge and he literally tracked down the kid who may ( or may not have ) slip it and kills him with a hammer .
This is the hammer he carries around like a guild . This murderous side of Nick comes as no surprise to viewers who probably secretly knew this kind of thing was coming . Fans are still left appalled , however , and many affection secretly mourn for the picayune son who was set on such a dark path by his scurrilous , drug addict dad .
Of Mice and Men
Nick more than probable suffers from PTSD ( Post Traumatic Stress Disorder ) . He is much like the character of Lennie Small inOf mouse and Men : aristocratic but highly disquieted , and not in restraint of his impulses .
Unfortunately , this lack of control – and the fact that he carries a hammer around with him everywhere – get the better of him and ends in tragedy … not just once , but with the red ravishment of his own father , and the kid who may , or may not , have stolen his bike . His tragical character highlight the need for proper psychological interposition .
