Three-time Emmy-nominated actress Arianne Zucker has played many roles, but she is best known for playing Nicole Walker on NBC's hit daytime drama "Days of our Lives." Zucker played the role from 1998-2017 and 2018-present. She has aired in over 1,600 episodes, multiple movies and new media programming, giving her thousands of hours of screen time experience.

Zucker began her career in modeling when she was 16 years old. She soon traveled to Paris after winning her first modeling contest. From there, she traveled to Australia and Japan, landing herself New York City. During this time, Zucker also booked several national commercials such as Mazda Miata and McDonald's.

During her career on "Days of our Lives," Zucker also began to generate work in primetime television by landing the role of Brenda Collette in "CSI: Miami." Her work was noticed by writer Karen Harris, and she was asked to play the role of Winnifred Marshall in "Life in General." As web series got more popular, "DeVanity," an Emmy-nominated web series, chose Zucker to guest star as Julie Regis as the uptight sister of Andrew Regis, the ruthless jewelry scion. In 2018, Zucker won an Independent Series Award for her role as Clara in "Ladies of the Lake." She also has been fortunate to play different characters for multiple Lifetime movies such as "Killer Assistant," "Web Cam Girls," "Ex-Wife Killer" and "His Perfect Obsession."

In 2016, during the presidential election, Zucker found herself in the center of a controversy with then-Republican nominee Donald Trump and "Access Hollywood" host Billy Bush over leaked recordings of some unsavory words about women, which became known as the "Access Hollywood tapes." Keeping her composure, she went on air with Anderson Cooper and wrote an op-ed for CNN. Without allowing these circumstances to change her or what she strives for in her career, Zucker continues to move forward.

While in between acting jobs, Zucker keeps herself quite busy. She co-created the nonprofit organization ARROW-HEART Adventure Camps in September of 2007 with her brother Todd Zucker. The organization operates out of a small town in Weiser, Idaho. The camp enriches teens' lives through outdoor adventure. ARROW-HEART's biggest adventure so far was creating a short documentary on the camp in South Africa in 2012.
