Nik Salt was born on July 11, 1995 in Brampton, Ontario, Canada, the youngest of three children. His father, Steven Arnold Salt, an English immigrant and his mother, Phyllis Salt, a Scottish immigrant, met in Canada and wed not long after.
After 5 years in the corporate recruitment industry, Nik decided to pursue his dream of acting. His push being a quote from Jim Carrey: "You can fail at what you don't want, so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love". Nik began acting classes with EVN Film Studios and LB Acting Studios to build a foundation under the skills he already had, starting at a beginner level and working up to the advanced classes.
Shortly after he began appearing in various student films and short independent films. Commercials and re-enactment programs followed until September of 2022 when he joined ACTRA Toronto. This gave him the opportunity to be a part of larger productions with more challenging roles.
