Although most known for his handful of work on Amazon Prime, Lucio hails from a theater background with 20 years experience. Nieto started on stage in Dallas, TX and completed both Theater & TV/Film programs at The New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts, where he also produced and directed three stage plays prior to graduating from the conservatory with the support of the late CEO, Joan See, and current President, Richard Omar. Lucio's work in Hickernell's 'Foreign Lovers' accumulated mass audiences and success from the festival circuit in Berlin, Toronto, Mumbai, and to both coasts of the United States. He has recently been nominated Best Supporting Actor in the upcoming film, 'GOLD', by writer/director Luca Pizzoleo. From co-founding The Blockheads Theater Collective in NYC as the Artistic Director, to hosting his own podcast, Light Talk With Lucio (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts), Nieto's mission is as grand as ever, serving both creatively and consciously in the world of "Hollywood".
