Nick Hogan, American reality television personality and son of Hulk and Linda Hogan, was born Nicholas Anthony Bollea in Van Nuys, California. His teenage years were documented in the reality show about his family "Hogan Knows Best" (VH1, 2005-07). He earned his Formula D competitive driving license in 2006 and started attracting sponsors due to his reality star status. However, in 2007, Hogan crashed his car into a tree while he was under the influence of alcohol and pleaded no-contest to criminal charges of underage drinking and reckless driving. Hogan's legal trouble, as well as his parents' impending divorce, led to the cancellation of the reality show. Nick Hogan made an appearance on his sister's spin-off reality show, "Brooke Knows Best" (VH1, 2008-09).
