Cheers: Fringe's Torv De Force

Anna Torv by George Holz/Fox
Cheers to J.J. Abrams for casting another dy-no-mite actress in one of his shows. The man who brought us Keri Russell (
Felicity), Jennifer Garner (
Alias) and Evangeline Lilly (
Lost) has discovered another kick-ass femme with
Fringe's Anna Torv. The little-known Aussie displays a flawless American accent and brings a welcome gravitas to Abrams' outlandish sci-fi rookie as an FBI agent investigating
X-Files-ish mysteries. (Plus, Abrams found a good excuse to get Torv to strip down her soaking-wet skivvies in the pilot.) If only slightly miscast costar Joshua Jackson could keep Pacey...er, pace.
