## Early life and Skam España
Nicole Wallace was born in Madrid in 2002.[3](https://www.imdb.com/es-es/name/nm5913850/bio/) Her mother is Spanish and her father American, and she has said the dual culture made her more open-minded.[2](https://www.elespanol.com/mujer/protagonistas/20240531/nicole-wallace-no-habla-suficiente-culpables-llegamos-sentir-mujeres-casos-abuso/858414254_0.html) She grew up training in singing and learning viola and piano, and her early plan was to study at a dance conservatory to become a dancer.[7](https://www.vogue.es/belleza/branded/nicole-wallace-pelo-kerastase-entrevista) • [8](https://www.hola.com/actualidad/20230620347065/nicole-wallace-actriz-protagonista-culpa-mia-entrevista/)
Her first acting job came in 2018, when she was cast as Nora Amalia Grace in *Skam España*, the Spanish version of the Norwegian teen drama.[2](https://www.elespanol.com/mujer/protagonistas/20240531/nicole-wallace-no-habla-suficiente-culpables-llegamos-sentir-mujeres-casos-abuso/858414254_0.html) She spent nearly three years on the series, shooting every day in a leading role, and has credited it with giving her her professional grounding; she has also described it as the cradle of a new generation of Spanish actors.[9](https://www.vogue.es/articulos/nicole-wallace-culpa-mia-ni-una-mas-entrevista) After *Skam* she appeared in the series *Parot*, then went through roughly a year and a half of unsuccessful castings while attending theater classes before her film career took off.[10](https://elpais.com/smoda/moda/2025-02-22/nicole-wallace-el-publico-adolescente-es-apasionado-pero-la-gente-que-me-acosa-por-redes-es-mayor-que-yo.html)
## The Culpables trilogy
Wallace's international fame dates to 2023, when she starred as Noah in *Culpa mía*, the first film adaptation of the *Culpables* trilogy of novels by Mercedes Ron, an Argentine-Spanish author whose books have sold more than three million copies worldwide.[10](https://elpais.com/smoda/moda/2025-02-22/nicole-wallace-el-publico-adolescente-es-apasionado-pero-la-gente-que-me-acosa-por-redes-es-mayor-que-yo.html) • [11](https://elpais.com/cultura/2025-01-23/el-fenomeno-culpables-la-saga-adolescente-que-quiere-derribar-los-viejos-cliches-del-amor-romantico.html) In the films, directed by Domingo González, Noah and Nick, played by Gabriel Guevara, become step-siblings when their parents marry and fall into a forbidden relationship.[11](https://elpais.com/cultura/2025-01-23/el-fenomeno-culpables-la-saga-adolescente-que-quiere-derribar-los-viejos-cliches-del-amor-romantico.html) The casting of Wallace and Guevara had to pass the most difficult filter, the approval of a fan community that had followed the books online since 2017.[11](https://elpais.com/cultura/2025-01-23/el-fenomeno-culpables-la-saga-adolescente-que-quiere-derribar-los-viejos-cliches-del-amor-romantico.html)
The trilogy became a global streaming phenomenon. *Culpa mía* turned into the most-watched original Prime Video film in Spanish ever, and *Culpa tuya* was the platform's number one film worldwide on its release weekend in December 2024.[4](https://www.vogue.es/articulos/nicole-wallace-entrevista-culpa-nuestra) • [11](https://elpais.com/cultura/2025-01-23/el-fenomeno-culpables-la-saga-adolescente-que-quiere-derribar-los-viejos-cliches-del-amor-romantico.html) Nicole Clemens, vice president of International Originals at Prime Video, said that more than 90 percent of the trilogy's viewers are outside Spain.[1](https://as.com/meristation/cine/espana-marca-el-camino-en-prime-video-nicole-wallace-es-numero-1-en-170-paises-f202602-n/) The saga closed with *Culpa nuestra*, released on 16 October 2025, in which Wallace played Noah for the last time.[12](https://www.elconfidencial.com/cultura/cine/2025-10-16/nicole-wallace-culpa-nuestra-prime-video-final-1qrt_4229129/) Around that release, she signed an exclusive contract with Amazon to headline several projects for the platform.[4](https://www.vogue.es/articulos/nicole-wallace-entrevista-culpa-nuestra)
## Other work
**Ni una más.** In May 2024 Wallace starred as Alma in the Netflix series *[Ni una más](https://www.edgepedia.org/raising-voices-tv-series)* (released in English as *Raising Voices*), opposite Clara Galle and Aïcha Villaverde. The eight-episode series follows a high-school student who denounces a rape on social media, and Wallace drew on its theme of abuse survivors being made to feel guilty.[5](https://www.20minutos.es/cinemania/series/nicole-wallace-entrevista-ni-una-mas-netflix-5245057/) • [2](https://www.elespanol.com/mujer/protagonistas/20240531/nicole-wallace-no-habla-suficiente-culpables-llegamos-sentir-mujeres-casos-abuso/858414254_0.html) She won the [Generation Z](https://www.edgepedia.org/generation-z) best-actress prize for the role at the Instyle En Serie 2024 awards.[3](https://www.imdb.com/es-es/name/nm5913850/bio/)
**Music on screen.** In March 2025 she released *Un año y un día*, her first project combining acting with singing and piano.[10](https://elpais.com/smoda/moda/2025-02-22/nicole-wallace-el-publico-adolescente-es-apasionado-pero-la-gente-que-me-acosa-por-redes-es-mayor-que-yo.html)
**La casa de los espíritus.** Wallace plays the young adult Clara del Valle in Prime Video's series adaptation of [Isabel Allende](https://www.edgepedia.org/isabel-allende)'s novel, opposite [Alfonso Herrera](https://www.edgepedia.org/alfonso-herrera) as Esteban Trueba. The project is her first U.S.-originated production and another English-language role, and she has said she deliberately played Clara as more grounded and fallible than the ethereal version [Meryl Streep](https://www.edgepedia.org/meryl-streep) created in the 1993 film adaptation.[6](https://www.lavanguardia.com/gente/20260425/11521974/nicole-wallace-reto-ponerse-zapatos-meryl-streep.html) • [13](https://www.khanlist.com/story/nicole-wallace-is-shifting-gears-the-streaming-icon-on-dccb1473)
## Public profile
The success of the films brought rapid fame: within about nine months of *Culpa mía*'s release her Instagram following multiplied tenfold, and she later accumulated more than 11 million followers on the platform.[9](https://www.vogue.es/articulos/nicole-wallace-culpa-mia-ni-una-mas-entrevista) • [14](https://www.vogue.es/articulos/nicole-wallace-entrevista-la-casa-de-los-espiritus-series-prime-video) She has described the fan phenomenon as a coin with a good side and a bad side, noting that the harassment she receives on social media tends to come from people older than she is, while her adolescent audience has largely been respectful.[15](https://www.glamour.es/articulos/nicole-wallaceandnbspel-entrevista-woty-2024) • [10](https://elpais.com/smoda/moda/2025-02-22/nicole-wallace-el-publico-adolescente-es-apasionado-pero-la-gente-que-me-acosa-por-redes-es-mayor-que-yo.html) Glamour Spain named her its Actress of the Year at its 2024 Women of the Year awards.[15](https://www.glamour.es/articulos/nicole-wallaceandnbspel-entrevista-woty-2024) She is also a Dior beauty ambassador and has spoken in interviews about how difficult it remains to be heard, protected, and respected as a young woman in the film industry.[10](https://elpais.com/smoda/moda/2025-02-22/nicole-wallace-el-publico-adolescente-es-apasionado-pero-la-gente-que-me-acosa-por-redes-es-mayor-que-yo.html) • [16](https://www.europapress.es/cultura/cine-00128/noticia-nicole-wallace-he-aprendido-dificil-ser-mujer-industria-ser-escuchada-protegida-respetada-20241226151700.html)
