Oscar-winning filmmaker and author whose work and commentary explore fantasy, horror, and cinema.

Nick Barrotta, a prominent figure from "Tyler Perry's The Oval," has officially partnered with Untitled Entertainment. This strategic move marks a significant step in the New York native's career, leveraging his extensive experience in television, film, and prior ventures in entertainment journalism and modeling. Barrotta's journey from a series regular on a hit political drama to securing new representation highlights his versatile talents and growing influence in the industry. This collaboration is expected to open new avenues for his acting career, building on his established reputation and broad skill set.

Barrotta's most recognized role is Allan in the popular BET series "The Oval," a political drama focusing on the intricate lives within a First Family and the dynamics of the White House. He became a series regular in 2021 and has since appeared in over one hundred episodes across six seasons. The show, entirely penned and largely directed by Tyler Perry, has garnered a substantial following, with its seventh season anticipated to premiere later this year.

Beyond his television success, Barrotta also made a notable appearance in Tyler Perry's 2025 feature film, "Duplicity." In this legal drama, he portrayed the character "Sam," contributing to a cast that included Kat Graham. The film achieved global recognition, securing the number one spot on Prime Video, further showcasing Barrotta's capability to excel in diverse roles and platforms.

Before dedicating himself fully to acting, Barrotta had a career in entertainment journalism. He held positions at reputable outlets such as Entertainment Tonight, Celebuzz, and The Wrap. During this time, he conducted interviews with numerous celebrities, including John Legend, Khloé Kardashian, Jordin Sparks, Heidi Klum, and Taraji P. Henson. He also hosted "Drinking with the Stars," an interview series for The Wrap, demonstrating his on-camera charisma and interviewing prowess.

Adding to his multifaceted background, Barrotta also pursued a successful modeling career. He was featured in campaigns for well-known brands such as Perry Ellis, New Balance, and Muscle Pharm. This earlier work in modeling provided him with valuable experience in front of the camera and contributed to his overall presence, which he now channels into his acting roles. Barrotta remains based in New York, continuing to pursue his artistic endeavors.

The actor's decision to join Untitled Entertainment signifies a new chapter, aiming to expand his professional reach and explore more diverse acting opportunities. His proven track record in both dramatic television and successful feature films, combined with his background in media and modeling, positions him as a dynamic talent with broad appeal. This partnership is poised to elevate his career, introducing him to a wider range of projects and collaborators in the entertainment landscape.
