Nils Oliveto grew up on the South Shore of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. He was actively involved in theatre and improvisation, but his passion was into sports, while attending Royal George High School in Greenfield Park. As a youth, he began training seriously as a track and field athlete, and started getting national attention in the hammer throw. After graduating from high school, he attended Champlain College Saint-Lambert and earned a spot on the Canadian Jr. National Track and Field Team. After completing an associate-degree in Pure and Applied Science, Oliveto was offered a track scholarship at the University of Oklahoma in the NCAA. From 1995 to 2000, Oliveto traveled all over North-America, Europe, and Africa, competing in major championships.
With a measured IQ of 150, he graduated with both a Bachelor of Science degree (Health and Sports Science) and a Master of Science degree (Exercise Physiology and Human Performance) from OU. He was the University of Oklahoma record holder in the hammer throw, and is still the current all-time powerlifting record holder at Champlain College.
The acting bug hit Nils when he was encouraged by a former drama high school teacher to pursue acting professionally. While in Oklahoma, he started studying acting and screenwriting with the OU Film Department, and later began working on local TV projects in Oklahoma City and Tulsa. In 2000, Nils moved to Los Angeles, where he jumped into the big leagues. He continued studying his craft in Burbank, California.
Nils is first and foremost a keen observer of human nature. Involved in several projects such as Olympic sports broadcasting for CBC Radio-Canada, sports science publications, physical education teaching, applied kinesiology in clinical osteopathy, and stress management / visualisation / autogenic training for high performance, this artist-scientist brings an unconventional and thoughtful light to the actor's craft.
Through his production company Hammerman Films, Nils produced, wrote, directed and starred in numerous feature-films.
