# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Nicholas King Nolte broke through in 1976 with the ABC miniseries Rich Man, Poor Man, earning an Emmy nomination and launching a film career that stretched across genres. He hit his awards peak in the early '90s: a Golden Globe win and an Oscar nomination for The Prince of Tides in 1991, then nominations again for Affliction in 1998 and Warrior in 2011. Between those peaks he worked steadily — buddy cop films like 48 Hrs., ensemble dramas like The Thin Red Line and Hotel Rwanda, even voice work in animated comedies. His television presence deepened after 2010: HBO's Luck, a Golden Globe-nominated turn as a disgraced president in Graves, guest spots in The Mandalorian and Poker Face. He never stopped working, and the work never stopped being varied.
