News on Shuffle would like to send a happy birthday shout-out to Gina Torres.
Torres has been on a number of shows over the years, but may best be known for her role as Zoe on Firefly (Joss Whedon’s cult hit that spawned a movie). In doing some research, I was reminded of some of the other great parts she has played. Included in this list is 24, Angel, Justice League (voice part), Alias, The Matrix films, and… One Life To Live. It just proves my theory, every good actor has gotten their start on a soap opera. Just look at Tuc Watkins, who was on One Life To Live when he got the part for Desperate Housewives. He actually still appears on OLTL on occasion and seems to be balancing both shows quite well.
As a tribute to Torres, here is a clip of Zoe and Co. in an episode of Firefly:
