During his career, Nicolas Coster touched many lives. His fellow “Santa Barbara” co-star A Martinez shared on Facebook, “The great Nicolas Coster walked on this week, and may the wind be warm at his back. He was a consummate actor, every bit as skilled onstage as he was before a camera … It was an honor to work in a company with him.” Former “General Hospital” star Jon Lindstrom wrote, “Nick has left us. He was one of my favorite people I’ve had the honor and pleasure to work, and become friends, with in this showbiz journey … I got to be with him the night he finally won his #Emmy, which made him very proud. R.I.P.”
Coster won his first Emmy award in 1986 for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for “Santa Barbara,” and went on to win three more awards for the show. In 2017, he won an Emmy for the drama series “The Bay.” On how he started his acting career, Coster shared during a 2021 interview that he was nudged into competing in a speech contest after he vociferously defended a boy being bullied in high school. “I won everything … and that started me. I had seen a film about the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London so I begged my mother, ‘I gotta go, I gotta go.’ So I went!”
Clearly, Coster’s passion for acting took him far in his career and he’ll be missed by many.
