Born in Germany, Nicole Ansari knew at five that she wanted to be an actress when she saw Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca. The film became an annual event in the Ansari household and years later Nicole would work with Curt Bois, the delightful pickpocket who warns the tourists "that there are thieves everywhere". As a young actress she saw Brian Cox on tour playing King Lear and thought him the greatest actor she'd ever seen. Ten years later she married Cox and bore him two sons. She also appeared in the West End and on Broadway with Cox in Tom Stoppard's Rock and Roll. The two also appeared together in HBO's Deadwood. Nicole just produced the movie Passing Harold Blumenthal starring Laila Robins, Fred Melamed and... Brian Cox.
