Gina Torres Biography
Born: April 25, 1969
A statuesque beauty whose first love as an actor was the stage, Gina Torres immersed herself in her craft by connecting with a live audience; the symbiotic energy that it created fueled her passion for acting and encouraged her to pursue a career in film and television in addition to her multiple Broadway roles. Born the youngest of three siblings in a close-knit Cuban family in New York, Torres received early voice training at New York's High School of Music and Art. Trained in opera and jazz, the talented mezzo-soprano also sang in a gospel choir, refining her versatile voice into a finely developed instrument with remarkable range. Although regular viewers of TV fantasy no doubt recognize her from recurring roles on Hercules:_The_Legendary_Journeys and its sister show, Xena:_Warrior_Princess, the talented actress and singer also appeared in such popular small-screen action and drama series as Dark_Angel, Cleopatra_2525, Firefly, Alias, Any_Day_Now, and Angel. Married to actor Laurence_Fishburne since September 2002, Torres' film roles have included 1996's Bed of Roses and The_Matrix_Reloaded (2003). Jason Buchanan, Rovi
