"Nico Tortorella, stars in Fox's ""The Following"" as Jacob Wells, got his first acting job at age 8 when he played a munchkin in ""The Wizard of Oz"" at a children's theater in his hometown of Wilmette. He graduated from New Trier High School, appearing in plays throughout the Chicago area where, he says, was a RedEye reader. He got the first of his ""10 or 11"" tattoos in Chicago and was driven to the tattoo parlor by his mother.
