Get to Know Chicago Med's Torrey DeVitto with These 10 Fun Facts (Exclusive)

Chicago Med is returning for season five tonight and we caught up with the show’s star Torrey DeVitto to learn more about her!

The 35-year-old actress has previously appeared on shows like Pretty Little Liars, One Tree Hill, and The Vampire Diaries. As you’ll learn in the 10 Fun Facts below, she is also an accomplished violinist and has plenty of other talents.

Here are some things you probably don’t know about Torrey:

• 1. I have been playing classical violin since I was 6. I took my playing out of the classical realm when I was 18 and had just moved to L.A. by playing a jazz violin piece by Noel Pointer while being backed up by Brian McKnight‘s band at a comedy/music show that Tommy Davidson (whom I met while waitressing in Woodland Hills) put together at a club in Hollywood. (My best friend Arielle Kebbel, who had also just moved to L.A., came to watch and support). Through Tommy I met Rapheal Saadiq and ended up playing on his album Ray Ray on a song called “I Love Her.” I also played on Stevie Nicks album called In your Dreams on a song called “Moonlight.” I did the music video for that song as well.
• 2. Stevie Nicks is like a family member to me. When I lost one of my childhood best friends Donald to suicide, she wrote the violin part in “Moonlight” and asked me to play it, saying she wrote it specifically for me and was dedicating that part to me and my friend who had passed.
• 3. I am an avid hula hooper. Tricks and all!
• 4. If I could sing I would have only done musicals. I am obsessed with musicals!
• 5. I am notorious for randomly twirling. I don’t even know I’m doing it when I do it. Sometimes I’ll do it in the middle of a conversation and won’t even realize its happened. My costar from Chicago Med, Marlyne Barrett, loves to call me out for it.

• 6. I love nesting. Having a comfy home space is so important to me. I love buying new throw pillows, throw blankets and rugs. My little sister Maryelle thinks it’s an addiction (and she’s probably right).
• 7. I can be a bit of a homebody. I love staying home, reading a good book, painting, meditating, diffusing oils or pulling from my different tarot card decks. Oh and hanging with my dogs Beau and Homie, of course!
• 8. I need to spend ample time in nature. If I have been in a city for too long without connecting with the outdoors I start to get severely depressed.
• 9. I prefer lakes to oceans. I’d choose being in the mountains versus on a beach any day.
• 10. I played tennis on my varsity team in high school during my freshman year and still play to this day. I love it. It’s a great way to release stress!
