From show creator/executive producer Kevin Williamson (The Vampire Diaries), the dark, fast-paced thriller The Following is an epic story of good versus evil, as told through the eyes of ex-FBI agent Ryan Hardy (Kevin Bacon), who is forced to return to the case that destroyed his career when it becomes evident that notorious serial killer Joe Carroll (James Purefoy) is at the center of a cult of like-minded killers who have created an insidious web of blood and carnage.  With Hardy’s help, a team of agents, including Mike Weston (Shawn Ashmore) and cult specialist Debra Parker (Annie Parisse), attempt to unravel the deadly plot of murder before the body count rises.

During this recent exclusive interview with Collider, Mexican actor Adan Canto (who plays Paul Torres, 1/3 of a dark and twisted love triangle) talked about how he turned a talent holding deal at Fox into a series regular role on The Following, how he approached figuring such a complex character out, how he views the love triangle, how the dark subject matter affects the mood on set, that his theater work in Mexico helped prepare him for the fast-paced schedule of U.S. television, and what initially drew him to acting.  Check out what he had to say after the jump.
