She was fantastic in Mindhunter as well.

That's "Third greatest tv show of all time Fringe's lead actress Anna Torv" for you.

 

[DevilPuncher]

That's honestly an excellent pick.

 

[More_Badass]

She's going to be an incredible Tess

She's great, this is such a nice pick for the cast.

 

[chefbags]

Damn what a fantastic get. Fucking can't wait for this show!

 

[Skel]

HBO couldn't have made a better casting choice. I hope she'll have a lot of screen time, she deserves it.

 

[DailyCalmSpirit]

Also of Heavenly Sword and Mindhunter.

Killer choice.

 

[rude]

Great actress. I miss Mindhunter even if S2 was jank.

 

[Lifejumper]

Ooh the mind hunter

 

[dancingphlower]

More people should watch Fringe

 

[Ventilaator]

I love casting news where the name is someone I've never considered, but immediately when reading it I'm like "Ok, yeah, that makes sense"

 

[ToddBonzalez]

Interesting that she's listed as a reoccurring when Tess dies pretty early in TLOU1. Might point to story changes, or perhaps flashbacks or something?

 

[Deleted member 25721]

Awesome. I would have been fine with Annie Wersching too; she's an actress I know from 24 as well as OG tess.

Anna Torv is amazing. I still need to binge fringe, but loved her work in Heavenly Sword.

 

[Plinkerton]

That's really great casting

Spoiler

For the couple of episodes she'll be in.

 

[Angie]

I'm really getting insane expectations for this show now.

 

[Skel]

She might die a bit later like in the 3rd episode.

Reoccurring just means more than one episode which makes sense.

 

[nolifebr]

Time to bring it back

 

[Zebesian-X]

Pitch perfect holy shit

 

[shaneo632]

Damn son, great pick.

 

[JoJo'sDentCo]

She's good. I wish they used more minorities in the big roles though. :/

 

[Jardim]

Fringe was such a gem. It even holds up today. And she and Noble were the absolute best part of that show.

 

[MegaSackman]

Terrific cast right there.

 

[dusan]

Fantastic cast.

 

[etta]

Amazing actress

 

[DominicanGlory]

This cast is insane

 

[Deleted member 202]

Niiiice, I love her in Fringe. Can't wait for The Last of Us!

 

[Precious Tritium]

If this show is bad I'm going to be so upset

 

[gundamkyoukai]

She's good. I wish they used more minorities in the big roles though. :/

Aside from Joel who get change alreeady really don't think they have any big roles per say .
Most people going to last 2 or 3 eps the most .

 

[Iwao]

Incredible casting, honestly.

They are big roles in my mind. 🤷

And one of the greatest tv series on Netflix Mindhunter's co lead actress Anna Torv for you as well.

So stocked...

 

[JoelShmoe]

We'll have Sam and his brother in the show, so I'm not concerned about minorities playing an important role.

 

[woodypop]

Great news! Really like her work in Mindhunter

 

[Unaha-Closp]

Nice I love Anna Torv. In a platonic, I am a nobody in Scotland and she is an Australian actor, way. Fringe and Mindhunter - top-tier tv. Hope this adaptation is good. Hard to fathom it being awful but I just watched Gunpowder Milkshake or whatever it's called and that had a stacked cast too. This has better writers than that I suspect so looking forward to it.
