Nicki Micheaux has quickly become a recognizable face on television through her roles as Karla in the critically acclaimed HBO series Six Feet Under and the sexy temptress Lila on Showtime's hit series "Soul Food" (2000). Born into the family of an Army Colonel in 'Motor City' Detroit, Michigan, Micheaux and her younger brother spent a childhood on the move. In fact, she'd have lived in most parts of the United States before she even graduated high school. The family eventually settled in Houston, Texas, where Micheaux got her first taste of the theater. Nevertheless, Micheaux went on to the University of Colorado to pursue a sensible law degree. If you had told her that someday she would be a part of hit television shows and award-winning movies, she probably would have said you were crazy. The acting bug was relentless, however, and while in college, Micheaux appeared in many plays and created quite a successful theater company.

In addition to her unforgettable performances on Six Feet Under and Soul Food, Micheaux has held guest-starring and recurring roles on shows such as The West Wing, ER, NYPD Blue, The Practice, and The District. Micheaux's film credits include Ringmaster (1998), Replacement Killers, The (1998), and the critically acclaimed independent Sweet Jane (1998). Never venturing too far from her stage roots, Micheaux recently appeared in the title role of the Greek tragedy 'Electra'. Nicki Micheaux donates much of her free time to non-profit organizations that are devoted to strengthening the Los Angeles community and spreading a message of humanity and compassion to the world.
