3 | Nicholas Jerry Jonas (born September 16, 1992) is an American singer-songwriter, musician and actor, best known for being one-third of Music/TheJonasBrothers, a pop-rock band he formed with brothers Joe and Kevin. Originally intended as a solo act, his record label liked the way he sounded with his brothers on backup, thusly launching them as a trio. |

5 | Together, they starred in Creator/DisneyChannel original series ''Series/{{JONAS}}'' as fictionalized versions of themselves, as well as the Disney Channel original movie ''Film/CampRock'', and its sequel, ''Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam.'' |
6 | |
7 | Apart from his brothers, he formed Nick Jonas & The Administration, releasing their first (and only) album in 2010. He's since gone solo, releasing his self-debut album in November 2014, which spawned the hit singles "Chains" and "Jealous", the latter of which charted as his first Top Ten hit in the United States. |

9 | As mentioned above, he's also an actor, most notably holding regular roles on [=DirecTV's=] [[UsefulNotes/MixedMartialArts MMA]] drama ''Kingdom'' opposite Creator/FrankGrillo, and Creator/RyanMurphy's Creator/{{FOX}} horror-comedy ''Series/{{Scream Queens|2015}}''. |
10 | |
11 | In addition to his screen roles, he's also done musical theatre. Some of his more prominent roles include Chip in ''Theatre/BeautyAndTheBeast'' and J. Pierrepont Finch in ''Theatre/HowToSucceedInBusinessWithoutReallyTrying''. |
12 | |
13 | In 2019, it was announced that he would replace Creator/AdamLevine as a panelist on ''Series/TheVoice''. |
14 | |
15 | Unsurprisingly, [[TheCasanova he's racked up quite the dating history in his time]]. He dated Music/MileyCyrus, Music/SelenaGomez, former [[BeautyContest Miss Universe]] Olivia Culpo, Music/DeltaGoodrem, Creator/NicoleAnderson, Crreator/SamanthaBarks, and is now married to Creator/PriyankaChopra |

49 | ---- |
50 | !!! He provides examples of: |
51 | * CallBack: Perhaps not intentional, but a few of his songs call back to songs he did with his brothers. |
52 | ** "Rose Garden", for one, which calls back to Music/TheJonasBrothers' song "Just Friends". |
53 | ** "Stay", which calls back to "Sorry". (''This time is the last time I will ever beg you to stay''/''Just tell me that you'll stay''.) |
54 | * TheCasanova: Delta Goodrem, Miley Cyrus, Olivia Culpo, Creator/KateHudson and Music/SelenaGomez. Doesn't that say it all. Not to mention Samantha Barks, a rumored fling with a background dancer, and a brief relationship with Creator/NicoleAnderson before getting engaged to Creator/PriyankaChopra |
55 | * TheCoverChangesTheGender: Notably averted when covering songs at his shows. Especially with a spectacularly bitter cover of Music/{{Adele}}'s "Someone Like You". |
56 | ** Especially since he changes other lyrics in the song at will, but leaves the gender the way it is. |
57 | * GreenEyedMonster: "Jealous". |
58 | * HiddenDepths: He, unlike his brothers, was acting in Broadway plays from a very young age. He starred as Marius for about a month in [[Theatre/LesMiserables Les Mis]] in 2010 and took over Darren Criss' role in How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. |
59 | * ImportantHaircut: Nick shaved his hair into a buzz cut after the Jonas Brothers split up. |
60 | * LyricalDissonance: "Who I Am". Sounds like a relatively nice song, but the lyrics are remarkably bitter. |
61 | * MrFanservice |
62 | * NewSoundAlbum: ''Nick Jonas'' has a more mature contemporary R&B sound. |
63 | * NonAppearingTitle: "Vesper's Goodbye" on Nick Jonas & The Administration's album ''Who I Am''. |
64 | * TeenIdol |
65 | * TenorBoy: As [[Theatre/LesMiserables Marius Pontmercy]]. |
66 | * WhenHeSmiles: He was rather well known for a long time for showing about as much emotion in public appearances as Creator/KristenStewart. He very, ''very'' rarely gave an honest smile. (He's better than he used to be, but it's still rare enough to be heartwarming when he smiles.) |
