Nick Damici (born around 1960) is an American actor and screenwriter known for Mulberry Street and Stake Land. He grew up in Hell’s Kitchen, New York, in the 1960s and early 1970s. His father was a bartender, and Damici sometimes helped behind the bar at age 12. He has mixed Italian and Canarian descent. His mentor, Michael Moriarty, encouraged him to write. Acting is his first love, but he says writing is a lonely, thankless job, so he began creating his own starring roles.

Damici has worked with Jim Mickle since 2001, collaborating on four films: Mulberry Street, Stake Land, We Are What We Are, and Cold in July. He originally wrote Stake Land as a web series, but producer Larry Fessenden helped turn it into a feature. In February 2013, he was cast in Adrian Garcia Bogliano’s Late Phases.
