David Nieker's journey in the entertainment industry began in 1986 when he made his on-screen debut as Goon #2 in the football classic film "Wildcats" starring Goldie Hawn.
He then went on to train at the renowned ImprovOlympic under the guidance of legends Charna Halpern and Del Close.
Since 2010, Nieker has been pursuing his lifelong passion for making people laugh, honing his stand-up comedy skills at clubs and festivals across the United States.
With an uncommon and unflinching comic style, Nieker's punchlines often span an emotional distance between his comedic heroes, the likes of Rodney Dangerfield and Mr. Mike.
In 2014, he became a member of SAG-AFTRA, and has since made appearances on popular television shows such as Jimmy Kimmel Live and CONAN.
In 2017, Nieker took on the role of a Woodsman in David Lynch's critically acclaimed series "Twin Peaks: The Return".
He has also been featured in a Justin Timberlake music video, further expanding his reach in the entertainment industry.
In addition to his television and film work, Nieker has released his debut comedy album "Unshavable", which is available to stream on various music platforms.
