They Had the Looks, They Had the Fame – But What Happened Next?

Gina Torres – Born in 1969

Gina Torres has wowed millions with her commanding presence on television and film. Raised in a close-knit Cuban-American family, she honed her craft as a trained mezzo-soprano in opera and jazz at the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts.

She was a scene-stealer as the formidable Zoe Washburne in the cult classic series ”Firefly” (2002–2003) and its subsequent film, ”Serenity” (2005). Her Jessica Pearson in the legal drama ”Suits” (2011–2018) was so compelling that it led to the spin-off series ”Pearson” (2019), centered around her character. Nowadays, the resurgence of ”Suits” on streaming platforms has introduced Gina to a new generation of fans.
