Who is Nick DiRago?

Nick was born Leonard Mortimer Weitzman in Beverly Hills, California. His father was O.J.'s first lawyer! Young "Lenny" went to the most exclusive private schools where he became friends with the sons and daughters of the rich and famous, even some of the Wayans Brothers! He was a happy child who loved to laugh and play practical jokes. One of his favorite pranks was to dial random numbers then make himself sound like an old man when in fact he was very young!

Leonard's life changed forever when he learned that his real father was in fact a Scandinavian sailmaker named Einar Salkcin. In tribute to the father he never knew, Leonard changed his name to Nickolas; "Salkcin" spelled backwards! Sort of.

During his adolescence, Nick spent his days marauding through the hills of his posh neighbourhood in search of empty pools to vert skate in, and high roofs to bungee jump from. These thrills became his drug. Then later, drugs became his drug! Nick was popular among his classmates, instantly reaching legendary status when he turned a friend's pet iguana into a fully functioning bong! But when the iguana checked into rehab at Promises of Malibu claiming to have been fired from Ally MacBeal, Nick realized it had all gone too far.

Nick was also popular with the ladies. While other boys his age were content to cop a feel, Nickolas was enjoying full on e-fueled love parties with his teachers! It was at one of these multi-generational "hoe- downs" that the slim-boned looker was discovered by model starmaker Mick Hanley, Mick was famous for his keen eye for talent, as well as his "honeydew sized" man-gland! At first, Nick was resistant to the idea of modeling, considering it a mindless pursuit for pretty boys. But after Mick showed him the '94 Gap "Pocket-T" campaign, he realized the money he could make to satisfy his ever-increasing aflliction to Italian shoes. Once the shallow world of modelling couldn't hold his attention any longer, Nick shifted his focus upon the world of aussie rules football. Stay tuned for the next chapter
