The Creator has one true name which is represented by the letters YHVH in English. His true name was only said in the Temple and with the Temple's destruction we lost the correct pronunciation. In the Tanach (Jewish Bible), there are 72 different 'names' used for The Creator, these aren't actual names though, they're descriptions of Him that are contextual. In daily conversation, most Jews the name 'HaShem' which literally translates to 'The Name' in reference to His true name.

If anyone tells you that Jews called HaShem 'Yahweh', 'Jehovah', or any variation of those names, they are wrong. Those names are Christian inventions.

Are we talking about the British actor born in 1979? If so, then no, I do not think he is Jewish because I've read nothing about him being Jewish in any of his biographies and the name "Nicholls" is a surname of English origin. It is not a Jewish name.
