Nicholas Chinlund, born November 18, 1961 in New York City, is an actor.

With dreams of pursuing a career in basketball, Nick was sidelined when he had a shoulder injury and had to have it operated on. The result is a two inch scar on his left shoulder. Having largely been cast in small roles on episodic television, Nick came to prominence when he guest starred on The X-Files second season episode Irresistible playing the serial murder/fetishist Donnie Addie Pfaster. Nick went on to star in several movies including two episodes of the series Law & Order and the spin-off Law & Order: Special Victims Unit playing another serial killer Matthew Linwood Brodus.

In recent years, Nick has been seen in several independent projects noteably A Brother's Kiss (1997), where Nick starred in the stage play. Nick also served as the executive producer of the film directed by childhood friend, Seth Zvi Rosenfeld. A Brother's Kiss was filmed in and around the neighbourhood where Nick and Seth grew up. The film tells the story of two brothers, Lex (Chinlund) and Mick (Michael Raynor), who grow up in the hard streets of New York. Nick continued in his long vein of independent features with roles in Chutney Popcorn (1999), Amy's Orgasm (2001) and Goodnight Joseph Parker (2004).

Recently, Chinlund starred in a few big screen movies, usually as the villain. They include: Tears of the Sun (2003) with Bruce Willis, Con Air (1997) with Nicholas Cage, and The Chronicles of Riddick (2004) with Vin Diesel and directed by David Twohy who also directed Chinlund in the underwater thriller Below (2002). He also reprised his X-Files role as Donnie Pfaster for a seventh season episode called Orison. Chinlund was also in Training Day with Denzel Washington, Eraser with Arnold Schwarzenegger and will soon be seen in The Legend of Zorro with Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta-Jones.

He has also made guest appearances in the long-running TV drama series, Law & Order, as well as in its spinoff, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. As with his film roles, he played villainous roles in those two shows, most notably as an unethical journalist in the original Law & Order, and a serial killer in Special Victims.
