“HERO” MAGAZINE:

Nico is featured in the new Summer/Fall 2012 issue of “Hero”, a bi-annual men’s fashion magazine. Model Arthur Gosse graces the cover, while Nico is featured in a spread previewed by the magazine’s official site:

Five of Hollywood’s most promising up-and-coming actors including Nico Tortorella (Scream 4), Alex Shaffer (Win Win), Kyle Gallner (The Haunting in Connecticut), Connor Paolo (Gossip Girl) and Max Thieriot (My Soul to Take) talk to us about their art, their dogs and their hopes for the future.

You can view a list of stockists here or purchase your copy online here. The magazine is also available in Japanese and Chinese in selected stores.

I have ordered a copy earlier today and will post scans as soon as I receive it.

“MASTERMIND”:

According to a recent twit by Marcos Siega, director of the Kevin Williamson’s pilot starring Nico, the show is not titled “Mastermind” as previously stated by The Hollywood Reporter. FOX is expected to announce next season’s line-up and the show’s fate during their upfront presentation in New York on May 14.

“MAKE IT OR BREAK IT”:

This is not directly related to Nico, but it’s still worth a mention since the show launched Nico’s career. ABC Family and showrunner Holly Sorensen confirmed that the current third season of “Make it or Break it” will sadly be its last. The series finale is scheduled to air on May 14. Make sure you tune in and support the show one last time.

“ODD THOMAS”:

According to IMDb (so take this with a grain of salt) Nico’s upcoming movie “Odd Thomas” is being released on October 3 in Belgium and the following day in Netherlands.
