It's appropriate that we first took note of New York City native Nicholas Tene when he appeared in a film titled NYC Dreams (2022). Nicholas had been kicking around the film industry for a lot longer than that, however, having made his screen debut way back in 2011. Though not his feature film debut—that honor goes to something called Don Peyote (2014)—his gay make-out with co-star Yves Mathieu East in NYC Dreams truly is the stuff that dreams are made of. Until it isn't... the scene takes a dark and violent turn, though we cut out most of the really nasty stuff. Next time Nicholas, we'd like to see you in a less disconcerting context!
