Austin, Nichols & Company, Inc. dba Pernod Ricard USA, is a distilling company producing several brands of beverages, including the Wild Turkey whiskeys.
The 27-year-old Nichols is best known in Central Texas as a water skiing champ, as is his mother, Kay Nichols, but he's pretty handy with a surfboard too, and that comes in handy in his new job.
Nichols landed the role of John Monad, a mysterious savant who shows up in Imperial Beach out of the blue, in part because he got to know Milch when he guest-starred on "Deadwood." The two hit it off, so when Milch conjured up "John From Cincinnati," he may have had Nichols in mind.
Nichols was born in Michigan but moved before his first birthday to Austin with his father, David, a radiologist, and his water-skiing champ mom.
The Austin, Nichols & Co. Warehouse, located at 184 Kent Avenue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, was designed in 1913 by Cass Gilbert for Horace Havemeyer and Austin, Nichols & Co. Facing the East River, the building has stood as a monumnent to Brooklyn’s industrial heritage for close to a century.
The Austin, Nichols & Company Warehouse is an important bridge between the historicist architectural styles of the 19th and early-20th centuries and the modernist movement which was just taking shape in Europe and America at this time.
AustinNichols was half a century ahead of Eero Saarinen’s TWA Terminal (1963, bottom right) and Frank Lloyd Wright’s Guggenheim Museum (1957) – two masterpieces of poured-in-place concrete architecture in New York.
