Nicki Lynn Aycox (May 26, 1975 – November 16, 2022) was an American actress and musician, known for her roles in Supernatural, Jeepers Creepers 2, Perfect Stranger and The X-Files: I Want to Believe. She released her debut EP, Red Velvet Room, in 2015.

Life and career

Aycox was born in Hennessey, Oklahoma. She had Native American ancestry and a younger brother, Steve. As a child, Aycox played the piano and sang in beauty pageants. Her early acting appearances include 3rd Rock from the Sun, USA High, Boy Meets World, The X-Files and a recurring role in Providence.

In 2003, Aycox played Minxie Hayes, a psychic cheerleader, in Jeepers Creepers 2. It was the sequel to the 2001 horror film Jeepers Creepers. From July to October 2005, Aycox portrayed Private Brenda "Mrs. B" Mitchell on Over There. The series followed a unit of the United States Army's 3rd Infantry Division on its first tour of duty in occupied Iraq, and chronicled the war's effects on the soldiers' families in the United States.

In 2006, Aycox guest starred in Criminal Minds, as Amber Canardo, a sociopathic serial killer, in the episode "The Perfect Storm." Also that year, she portrayed Meg Masters, a recurring antagonist, in the first season of the WB (now CW) series Supernatural. Executive producer Kim Manners had previously worked with Aycox in an episode of Over There that he directed, and hand-selected her for the role of Meg.

"I think that when you bring a woman on that's going to be a powerful character, there's definitely going to be some sexuality put into the character. I added a lot of it on my own, but it was definitely in the script as well."

In 2007, Aycox appeared in the thriller movie Perfect Stranger, alongside Halle Berry and Bruce Willis, as a woman trying to blackmail a wealthy advertising executive. The following year, Aycox was in The X-Files: I Want to Believe, the second feature film installment of The X-Files franchise. Filming began in December 2007 and finished on March 11, 2008. Also in 2008, Aycox starred in Joy Ride 2: Dead Ahead, the sequel to 2001's Joy Ride.

In July 2009, Aycox began to portray the character Jaimie Allen (an undercover LAPD police officer) in the TNT action/drama series Dark Blue. It ended its run on September 15, 2010.

In 2015, Aycox released her debut EP, Red Velvet Room, which contained five songs of her own original music.

Personal life and death

Aycox was diagnosed with leukemia in 2020. She died from the illness on November 16, 2022, at the age of 47.
