* DescendedCreator: Even though Nick is very well-liked among Starkid fans as an actor, he generally prefers to stay offstage in Starkid projects, since they're usually musicals and he considers himself a weak singer and dancer. That said, Starkid fans consider both his main roles in ''Theatre/HolyMusicalBatman'' and ''Theatre/{{Ani}}'' extremely memorable, and are constantly looking for {{cameo}}s by him in other projects.

Then the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic hit, and Nick was trapped in Matt and Rusty's house for ''over a year'' as a result -- which wasn't the most comfortable situation, what with him only having packed one suitcase of clothes. Luckily, Matt and Nick being trapped in one house for a year is what [[SerendipityWritesThePlot led to the creation of]] ''WebVideo/NightmareTime''.

* CreatorInJoke: Matt is the source of one of the most obscure and bizarre Starkid in-jokes, the song "Liam's Got a Phone Call". (The story is that when Matt and Creator/DarrenCriss lived together with a third roommate, Liam White, Liam frequently received phone calls, leading Darren and Matt to one day improvise a song on the spot about this fact while Liam was on the phone. This got included as a "bonus track" on the SPACE Tour song list and picked up by the Starkid fandom, who largely repeated it without knowing anything about where it came from.)

Matt and Nick Lang are the co-writers and co-directors behind many of the Creator/TeamStarkid productions.

Nick has had a greater on-stage presence as an actor, most notably as Robin in ''Theatre/HolyMusicalBatman'' and as Emperor Palpatine and Obi-Wan Kenobi in ''{{Theatre/Ani}}''. He also handles much of the puppet work and played bit parts in ''WebVideo/LittleWhiteLie'', ''[[Theatre/AVeryPotterMusical AVPS]]'' (including the voice of [[EnsembleDarkhorse the Scarf of Sexual Preference]]), and ''Theatre/{{Starship}}''. Nick also worked on soapnet.com and was a part of the ''Series/GossipGirl'' [[http://crushable.com/entertainment/exclusive-behind-the-scenes-with-soapnetcoms-gossip-girl-puppets/ finger puppets]], which have reached MemeticMutation in that fandom.
