Nico Tortorella

Nico Tortorella stars as Josh on Younger. Josh is a hot tattoo artist who, at first, mistakes 40-year-old Liza for younger than she is, and when she doesn’t dissuade him from that notion, she decides to take the chance to reboot her career – and her love life – as a 26-year old. Josh has since learned the truth, but has found that it’s a lot harder to keep Liza’s secret than he thought, and their relationship has been on-and-off ever since. At the end of the third season, he was about to propose and prove he was all-in…only to walk in on Liza and her boss, Charles, kissing.

Biography
He was previously a series regular opposite Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy on Fox’s hugely successful series “The Following.” Feature films include his starring role in Stephen Sommers' “Odd Thomas” opposite Anton Yelchin, Willem Dafoe and Tim Robbins. Joel Schumacher was the first to identify Nico's natural and raw talent, casting him in two films over the past several years: “Twelve” and “Tresspass.” Nico also shot the HBO/Mike White pilot “Mamma Dallas” and wrapped the lead role of “Carson” in the New York independent “fictional documentary” film “Hunter & Game.” A longtime lover of theatre, Nico could most recently be found on stage tap dancing opposite “Younger” co-star Sutton Foster for four of her tour dates with The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and made his theatre debut last summer in Jordan Jaffe’s play “Crude,” earning rave reviews for his portrayal of Jaime, most notably from  The New York Times.

Nico’s latest endeavour is his own podcast titled THE LOVE BOMB, in which he explores love and the labels associated with them. Having launched just last year, it’s already ranked #1 in the “Personal Journals” category and sits in the Top 50 iTunes Top 200 podcasts with over 1.5 million downloads. Season two launches this June. Other upcoming projects include “Menendez: Blood Brothers” for Lifetime co-starring Courtney Love.
