The U.K.’s raucous teen drama Skins — revolving around sex, drugs, hopes and disappointments — didn’t quite make the leap across the pond with the MTV adaptation, but the original has built a cult following in the U.S. on BBC AMERICA. The TV show has followed several sets of British teens in Bristol, England and what goes on out of the sight of parents and teachers. With Nicholas Hoult popping up in the recent blockbuster Warm Bodies, let’s see what some of the actors are up to these days!
