Charlotte Nicdao

Nicdao attended Victorian College of Arts and studied jazz and classical music. After an audition for a role in which she did not get the part, Nicdao discovered that her true love was acting.

Nicdao's big break happened in 2008 when she was cast as Jackie in A gURLs wURLd. Nicdao auditioned when she was 17. The show filmed in Sydney, Singapore, and Hamburg, so Nicdao completed the final year of high school by distance education with the goal to return to Melbourne and make a career out of jazz singing.

Nicdao starred in the short film Emo, directed by Neil Tiffett, which won a 'special mention' at the prestigious Berlinale International Film Festival in 2014 - the runner up to the Crystal Bear for best short film in Berlinale’s Generation section. When the short was adapted to a full-length film Emo: The Musical, released in 2016, she was credited as an associate producer.

In 2014, Nicdao joined the second season cast of Josh Thomas' Australian TV series Please Like Me, and played the role of Tom's girlfriend Jenny.

In 2019, Nicdao starred as Lucy in Content, a made-for-phone online video series. The first episode, about a millennial who wanted to go viral, actually went viral when the video of her crashing her car was shared by many who thought it was footage of a real accident.

In 2020, Nicdao began starring as Poppy in Mythic Quest. Nicdao described the role as her dream role. About the advent of more roles for people of Asian heritage, Nicdao stated about her role in Mythic Quest, "I think there was a time with the only characters available to me were very one dimensional and now I'm getting to play this very complex woman at the center of a story and it's beautiful."

Nicdao voiced See-Thru Princess, the ruler of the Glass Kingdom, in Adventure Time: Distant Lands.
