Episode description

"Younger" and "The Walking Dead: World Beyond" star Nico Tortorella grew up in a hockey family but was bit by the acting bug at the age of nine and never looked back.

The actor, musician, and author joins Sophia for a candid chat about his struggles with fame and alcoholism, using creativity as an outlet, his new music, and his children's book inspired by fatherhood. Plus, he shares how his latest film, "The Mattachine Family," helped him cope with his family's own fertility struggles.

Sophia and Nico find common ground together as they open up about their respective journeys of self-discovery and coming out, and how each of them believes in using their platforms to advocate for others.
