The Art of Acting: Niko Gonzalez
Friday, 10 April, 2026

Niko used theatrical rage to heal from trauma. “I think we look at anger as this big, bad emotion. It’s not. And you can have good anger, you can have bad anger, you can have anger that hurts people, you can have anger that hurts yourself.” In a specific angry scene in a recent theater production Niko says, “It was actually a lot harder than I anticipated, because even though me and anger and rage are bed buddies…it was something I never show people. It’s a part of myself that I have kept well-hidden in my 34 years.”
