In 2014 Krause won Best Actor in the film White Rabbit for his portrayal of Harlon at the Catalina Film Festival. His other works include How to Eat Fried Worms (2006) as Nigel, in Homo Erectus (2007) as young Thudnik, in The Descendants (2011) as Sid and in the TV series Hollywood Heights (2012) as Adam.

Krause starred in the music video for the single, "Weekend" by the band Priory, alongside Bailey Noble.

Nick daydreams of winning Bailey’s affection by pulling some pretty slick skate moves on the floor, but in reality, as always, doesn’t quite measure up.[7]
