# 
// in class of followed actor
// instance field
private Actor follower;
// in act (or in a method it calls)
if (follower == null) follower = getOneIntersectingObject(FollowerClassName.class);
// when moving actor (using setLocation(getX()+dx, getY()+dy); where dx and dy are the changes in location
if (follower != null)
{
    if (follower.getWorld() == null) follower = null; else follower.setLocation(follower.getX()+dx, follower.getY()+dy);
}
You may not need the check to see if follower is still in the world. I put it there as a precautionary measure (just in case it was possible for it to be removed from the world). If the followed actor (actor of this class) is removed, you may want to also remove its follower (if not 'null'). Good programming takes consideration of all possibilities.
