Welcome to the Anna Torv Appreciation Thread



She plays the agent Olivia Dunham on the new FOX show 'Fringe' and we already love her!

More Info about her:
(tell us if you have more)

1- She's Australian.
2- She's 30 (or 29?)
3- She has not seen her father since she was eight years old.
4- She was on a camping trip when she got the callback for 'Fringe'. Someone got ahold of her
on the phone and she auditioned online for the show and was immediately chosen for the role of Olivia Dunham.

Quotes from her:

"As far as the paranormal, I'm a bit of a squib myself. All the gross stuff, I didn't have any interest in prior to this. But the conspiracy stuff I think, you guys have seen it, I'm sure I can say it, but the last line, one of the last scenes, Kirk's character talking, I'm interested in that, like who has the knowledge, who has the power, who knows what and why don't we?"

I found an Anna Torv interview with Access Hollywood! I don't know when this interview actually took place, but Anna-Torv Online posted it on Saturday!

ANNA TORV ONLINE - Access Hollywood Interview
I couldn't figure out how to link to the direct post, so just scroll down on the main page, it's the second entry I believe!

Also on the Anna Torv Online site was this article that was posted in the WWD Issue of TV Guide. It's give you a little background on Anna which is awesome because I never knew some of this stuff before!

The fashion flock typically gets a late start when it comes to fall television, what with spring collections and the onslaught of autumn galas. But those who want to spend tonight on the couch need not be daunted. Here, WWD helps viewers get up to speed with the fresh-faced starlets of two new Tuesday night series, Fox’s “Fringe” and the CW’s “Privileged.” NAME: Anna Torv AGE: 30 CATCH HER IN: “Fringe,” the latest installment from “Lost” creator J.J. Abrams. Torv appears alongside Joshua Jackson as Olivia Dunham, an FBI agent investigating the mysterious dealings of a global research corporation, called Massive Dynamic. PROVENANCE: Melbourne, Australia EDUCATION: Australia’s prestigious National Institute of Dramatic Arts. PREVIOUS CREDITS: Steven Spielberg’s World War II HBO miniseries “The Pacific,” BBC prime-time drama “Mistresses” and a string of roles Down Under in what Torv calls “one hour-dramas about people who live in apartment buildings.” FAME GAME: Until 1998, Rupert Murdoch was married to Torv’s estranged aunt, also named Anna Torv, with whom he had three children, Elisabeth, James and Lachlan. “FRINGE” BENEFITS: “Sometimes it’s creepy,” says Torv of the sci-fi show’s special effects-filled sets. “You walk in and go, ‘Oh God, that poor person is lying in goo and has that pole sticking out of his head.’” STYLE FILE: “In Australia, you can get away with murder. You can wear a towel to the grocery store,” says the actress, who relocated to New York in July to film “Fringe.” Torv has adjusted to her new surroundings by stocking up on “clean and simple” separates from labels such as The Row.

“Sometimes it’s creepy,” says Torv of the sci-fi show’s special effects-filled sets. “You walk in and go, ‘Oh God, that poor person is lying in goo and has that pole sticking out of his head.’”
