Nico Tortorella

Space Between

Known for roles in films including Scream 4, the Fox crime drama series The Following, and the TV Land comedy-drama series Younger — Nico Tortorella — was raised on a steady regimen of Ram Dass and raw food, and has always been interested in the more spiritual aspects of life. That is, until the desire for fame and fortune eclipsed their journey toward enlightenment and sent them into a downward spiral of addiction and self-destructive behavior. It wasn’t until Nico dug deep and began to examine the fluidity of both their sexuality and gender identity that they became more comfortable in their own skin, got sober from alcohol, entered into an unconventional marriage with the love of their life, and fully embraced a queer lifestyle that afforded them the opportunity to explore the world outside the gender binary.

XO chats with the LGBTQIA+ advocate Nico Tortorella about their latest book SPACE BETWEEN: Exploration of Love, Sex, and Fluidity.
