Her parents quickly spotted her artistic talents and supported Nicole's passion for singing, piano, and viola. Additionally, she was trained in hip-hop and funk dance styles. Her tight bond with older sister Chloe, who went on to become a director and screenwriter, played a huge role in shaping who she became.

Acting Career

Nicole started hitting film auditions as a kid. She made her screen debut at the age of 6 in the short film "Excision." But she'd have to wait nearly 10 years for her next shot – appearing in 2017's short film "Post millennial."

The breakthrough that launched the rising actress came when she landed the role of Nora in teen series "Skam. Spain." Wallace's character became part of a complex love triangle that captivated fans throughout the first season. "For 'Skam,' they wanted actors who could embody their characters. Authenticity was everything, and we evolved alongside them," Nicole recalled.

As the show continued, characters grew up and relationships shifted. Each season spotlighted a different character, with season three centering on Nicole's Nora and Viri, played by Celia Monedero. The season was honored with several awards at festivals, including "Cima TV."

Nicole reprised her role as Nora in the fourth season of the series, which premiered at the end of 2020. From there, she cemented her status as a Gen Z icon. In 2021, Wallace starred in short film "La fuerza del destino" and snagged a role in "Parot," a gripping Spanish police thriller that Amazon Prime Video picked up. The show focused on crimes by ex-convicts, with Nicole in a guest role.

Based on the first book in Mercedes Ron's "Culpa mía" series, the film features plenty of steamy scenes. Nicole handled the intimate scenes like a pro, saying, "I thought it would worry me more, but with an intimacy coordinator, everything went smoothly." Plus, she felt lucky to have Guevara – someone she already knew – as her scene partner.
