[edit] Biography

[edit] Early life

Zano was born in Nutley, New Jersey[1] and has also lived in Florida and New Jersey. During high school at Wellington High School in Wellington, FL, Zano was active in the drama and television departments. Throughout his junior and senior years, Zano and fellow classmates produced a weekly off-beat skit comedy show that aired on the school's television station. While working on the show, Zano also wrote, starred in and directed student films that made their way to the JVC Universal Film Competition, a festival in which over 800 local high schools participate.

Shortly after high school, Zano moved to Los Angeles and landed a job developing films and television projects for a small production company. During that time, he also was the associate producer for Living Position, a World AIDS Day television special hosted by Lou Diamond Phillips. It was while he was selling shoes in a trendy Los Angeles boutique that a customer, unbeknownst to Zano, went back to her office and told her supervisors she'd just met a man who would be a wonderful on-air personality. The mystery woman was an employee at MTV. This meeting led to Zano landing the hosting job of MTV's Movie House.

He has dated actress Amanda Bynes, his What I Like About You co-star. Earlier last year, Nick was dating Laguna Beach star Kristin Cavallari, but broke up in December 2007.
