The Prime Video series is the show on everyone’s lips and it has quickly become the highlight of our Fridays.

We were introduced to Nicky Fitzpatrick.
Our main character, Daisy Jones, the 70s rock and roll star has fled to Greece. And viewers were surprised to find out that the free spirit was married to an Irish man.
So here’s everything we know about the actor who plays Nicky.

Irish actor Gavin Drea plays the very divisive role of Nicky Fitzpatrick.
If you watched Wedding Season on Disney+ you may recognise his face. The actor played the lead role of Stefan.

Who is Gavin’s character, Nicky Fitzpatrick?
Well, now we know all about Gavin Drea. But who is his on-screen counterpart?
Well Gavin plays Nicky who is allegedly “the wealthy heir to a non-ruling Sovereign nobility in Ireland“. He meets our titular character during her travels to Greece.
If you have read the book then you’ll know that this is a massive change. In the novel, Daisy takes her travels to Thailand and marries a man named Niccolo Argento in his native country of Italy.
