Dumont came out as transmasculine and non-binary in 2024, changing their name on Instagram to Nick but is still using 'Emma' professionally.

Early life and education

Dumont was born in Seattle, Washington c. 1994–1995.[4] They attended Washington Middle School and later James A. Garfield High School before homeschooling in order to pursue modeling and acting. They also attended Orange County High School of the Arts in the Music and Theater Conservatory in Santa Ana, California.[5]

They began their ballet training at age 3 and have studied at Pacific Northwest Ballet School, Cornish College of the Arts and Spectrum Dance Theatre School (The Academy - pre-professional program) with summers at American Ballet Theatre, Joffrey Ballet School and the Bolshoi Ballet Academy in Moscow, Russia.[citation needed]

Dumont began performing in community theater at age six with performances at Seattle Public Theatre and Seattle Musical Theatre among others.[6] Their musical theater training includes four summers at 5th Avenue Theatre.[citation needed]

In 2011, they were a member of a FIRST Tech Challenge team located in Pasadena, California and in 2012 a FIRST Robotics Competition team based in Burbank, California in 2013.[7] Dumont became a FIRST Dean's List Finalist at the Los Angeles Regional Competition.[citation needed] Dumont spoke at the 2013 FIRST World Championship at a VIP Dinner on April 26, 2013.[8]

Career

Dumont's first film role was in True Adolescents in 2007 (released 2009) alongside Melissa Leo and Mark Duplass. They later appeared in the movie Dear Lemon Lima (2009). Both movies were filmed in Dumont's hometown of Seattle.

In January 2010, Dumont won the V magazine V A Model search contest, appearing in the March 2010 issue and receiving a Ford Models contract.[9][10]

In 2011, they were cast in a lead role in Stephen Gaghan's NBC pilot Metro, alongside Noah Emmerich and Jimmy Smits. In October 2011, Dumont was cast in the ABC Family original series, Bunheads, starring Sutton Foster and Kelly Bishop. Throughout 2012 and early 2013, they portrayed Melanie Segal, who attends the dance academy run by the lead's mother-in-law in the TV series.[11][12]

Also in 2012, they appeared in the independent film Nobody Walks alongside Dylan McDermott, John Krasinski, Jane Levy, Olivia Thirlby, and Rosemarie DeWitt.

In 2014, Dumont filmed two television pilots for NBC: Aquarius, which ran for two seasons, and Salvation (starring Ashley Judd), which was not picked up as a series. In March 2017, they were cast in Fox's pilot for an X-Men television series, The Gifted,[13] which was picked up to series in May 2017[14] and premiered the same year, in October.

Dumont portrayed the sister-in-law of J. Robert Oppenheimer in the biopic Oppenheimer, directed by Christopher Nolan.[15]

Personal life

Dumont participated in For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST) Robotics on a team sponsored by NASA/JPL and Walt Disney Imagineering.[16][17]

At age fifteen, they became an avid roller derby skater and participated in the Los Angeles Derby Dolls training programs. Dumont, roller derby, and LADD skaters were featured in a 2013 episode of Bunheads.[18]

In December 2024, Dumont came out as transmasculine and non-binary, changing their name and pronouns on Instagram to Nick Dumont and they/them, respectively; their publicist stated they use the name Nick with friends and family but will continue using the name Emma professionally.[19]
