Actor Nico Tortorella is a Renaissance human for the modern day. An actor, podcast host, seeker and dedicated champion of the LGBTQIA+ community, they are using their voice to help break down stereotypes and educate themself in the process.

Joel Schumacher was the first to identify Nico's natural and raw talent, casting them in two of his films, "Twelve" and "Trespass." They also portrayed the lead role of Carson in the independent "fictional documentary" cult film "Hunter Game" and had a starring role in Stephen Sommers's "Odd Thomas" opposite Anton Yelchin, Willem Dafoe and Tim Robbins. They shot the HBO/Mike White pilot "Mamma Dallas" before going on to become a series regular opposite Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy on Fox's hugely successful series "The Following." Additional TV credits include "Menendez: Blood Brothers" for Lifetime (co-starring Courtney Love), but they have become best known for their role as Josh on Darren Starr's hit comedy series "Younger," which is garnering its highest ratings yet.

A longtime lover of theater, Nico sang and tap-danced opposite their "Younger" co-star Sutton Foster for four of her tour dates with The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra in 2016 and made their theater debut in Jordan Jaffe's play "Crude," which earned rave reviews for Nico's portrayal of Jaime, most notably from The New York Times.

Nico began their journey with activism when they debuted their podcast in the summer of 2016. Titled "The Love Bomb," it was comprised of their original spoken word pieces as well as in-depth interviews exploring the all-encompassing topic of love and the labels associated with them. Nico's intimate conversations with personalities from all walks of life found an immediate audience and became a breeding ground for in-depth, lively explorations on topics that ranged from intimacy, humanity, gender, sexuality, intersectionality, love, race, religion, queer identities and identity politics. They opened up about their own path that led them to their decision to become sexually fluid -- and as a working actor in Hollywood, everything that came with that admission. Having conducted 50 interviews over the course of two seasons - including a live podcast at Entertainment Weekly's PopFest - the podcast ranked #1 in the Personal Journals category in 2017 and sits in the Top 50 iTunes Top 200 with over 3 million downloads.

Adding to this impressive list of credits, Nico debuted "all of it is you" on April 17. This poetry collection explores a singular voice honed through years as an actor, podcaster and advocate - one colored with love, wonder and endless curiosity. It's a sensuous journey into who we are and how we relate to the world around us.

Nico recently married their longtime partner Bethany Meyers, and they reside in New York with their two dogs.
