Her Career
My mother encouraged what I was good at, and I knew that I was not going to become a scientist or mathematician, – Anna Torv tells. When it was time to choose a future profession, 17-year-old Torv met no obstacles from her family, and with a calm soul, she moved from the provinces to Sydney, where the applied to Australia’s National Institute of Dramatic Art.Anna received her first movie role in 2002: she starred in the Australian movie White Collar Blue. Then there were a series of TV shows and movies, successful in Australia and not too well-known in the world. On the set of these movies, Torv showed herself as a hard-working and talented actress.
However, all the glory was waiting for her. Anna accidentally found out about the casting in the American science fiction series Fringe and sent the producers her video audition. One of the creators of the series, J. J. Abrams (Stay Alive, Star Trek, Star Wars: The Force Awakens), surprised by the girl’s courage, immediately chose her from more than 300 candidates.

The story takes place in the late 1970s and tells about two FBI agents who have to interview serial killers to solve complex cases.
