Nicole “Nikki” Bilderback grew up in Dallas, Texas as an all-American girl. She was born in Seoul, Korea but is a mix of Korean, Japanese and Chinese, giving her a versatile Asian-American look. Nikki was adopted as a newborn by Jim and Lois Bilderback. Being the youngest child and only daughter, she started dance training at the young age of 3 years old. She is proficient in all styles of dance- specializing in lyrical, modern, contemporary, ballet and hip/hop. Nikki is a major fitness buff and is an avid yogi (hot yoga), enjoys spin, high intensity circuit training and is well experienced in kick boxing and mixed martial arts, enabling her to perform her own stunts.
Ms. Bilderback has made her mark guest starring and recurring on just about every hit tv series on network television. Nikki is probably most recognized as the bitchy cheerleader “Whitney” in the blockbuster mega-hit Bring It On, starring Kirsten Dunst.
“I am an actress, who happens to be Asian American. Not an Asian Actress. This does not limit my ability, nor should it limit my opportunities to play any female character.” A role that stands out as the perfect example of this, Nicole was cast as the female lead in the highly acclaimed independent feature film, The New Twenty. It’s a non-ethnic specific role and the female lead. Being marked by critics as “The St. Elmo’s Fire of this generation”- LA Weekly, the film received numerous awards at all the film festivals both nationwide and internationally. In the summer of 2008, she won The Grand Jury Award BEST LEAD ACTRESS at the Los Angeles Out Fest Film Festival for her first female leading lady role. www.thenewtwentymovie.com.
