Meet Nico Tortorella The Following

7 Questions With Nico Tortorella The Following
You may recognize the sexy 24-year-old Nico Tortorella from his roles in Scream 4, Make It or Break It or The Beautiful Life, but it’s his current gig as a “follower” on FOX’s breakout series The Following (Mondays) that is capturing viewer attention. Tortorella plays the skittish Jacob who was part of that strange love triangle between Emma and Paul and is now on the run from Kevin Bacon’s Detective Ryan Hardy. As of presstime his character has yet to kill or be killed (thankfully, he’s a follower with a conscious), and his chances of survival look promising as the series credits list him for at least 12 episodes. In between filming, Tortorella answered a few of our questions.

Apples, kale and chicken.

If I told you, I’d have to kill you.

  1. Thanks for sharing this interview with Tortorella and I agree that his character has a chance of surviving and breaking away from the followers. I work at DISH and several of my coworkers are happy that he will be on the show since he hasn’t been seen in the past few episodes. I missed The Following on Monday, but I caught up with it last night since it was recorded on my DISH Hopper. I never worry about missing The Following because my DVR automatically records Fox shows during primetime, and then I can catch up with it at my own pace.
