Anna torv

He comes from Australia, but his fame comes from the extraordinary events that the Fringe television series narrates , created by JJ Abrams and company.

Anna Torv was born in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, on June 15, 1978. But her curious surname Torv reveals Estonian origins on her father’s side, Hans Torv, from whom, through the vicissitudes of life, she has been separated since she was eight years old. Undoubtedly, she is linked by close ties with one of the most powerful Australian families, that of communication magnate Rupert Murdoch, since her aunt Anna Maria was his wife for 31 years.

She trained as an actress at the National Institute of Dramatic Art, where she graduated in 2001. Her acting career has been almost exclusively tied to television, although she has also lent her voice to the video game “Heavenly Sword” and has been in a couple of movies, yes, with very secondary roles.

He became a regular character in the Australian police series Young Lions in 2002. In his country he was also seen in an episode of The McLeod’s Sisters , and especially in Secret Lives , a phenomenon in Australia, although the most recalcitrant fans agree in pointing out that the decline of the series coincided with the arrival of Torv in 2005, although she was not to blame for the matter.

Torv thought that the time had come to leave the great island that is Australia… to go to another island, the United Kingdom, where in 2008 he took part in 5 episodes of Mistresses , the sentimental vicissitudes of four women.

The fact is that this beautiful blonde with blue eyes was lucky that the creators of series like Felicity , Alias ​​and Lost , JJ Abrams and company, set their sights on her when thinking of a female character, an FBI agent, that he was dealing with cases with strange and paranormal elements that followed “the Pattern” in Fringe . Her strong female character was comparable to those that brought actresses such as Keri Russell , Jennifer Garner and Evangeline Lilly to fame., and the series has been growing and generating a solid fan base, so that a fourth season is already about to start. In addition, he had time to appear in the prestigious war series by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks The Pacific .

In personal life, Torv hasn’t had much luck. In 2008 she married Mark Valley , a Fringe co-star , her great love who turned out to be a traitor. In real life, the romance did not work out either, as the couple separated after a year of marriage.
