Anna Torv’s Earnings: $6 Million Dollars
Torv spent her formative years on the Gold Coast, Queensland, and attended Benowa State High School, graduating in 1996. Subsequently, she pursued a degree in Performing Arts from Australia’s National Institute of Dramatic Art, where she gained exposure by participating in various theater productions, consolidating her net worth.
She made her stage debut in 2002 in a production of “The Credeaux Canvas” and ventured into television with appearances in the “White Collar Blue” television film and the series “Young Lions” during the same year.
Her cinematic debut arrived the following year with the role of Debra Fowler in “Traveling Light”, paralleled by her portrayal of Ophelia in a Bell Shakespeare Company production of “Hamlet”. These early roles contributed to her growing recognition and wealth.
Her prominence in Australian television continued with roles in popular dramas such as “The Secret Life of Us” and “McLeod’s Daughters” in the mid-2000s. Furthermore, her involvement in the BBC television series “Mistresses” and her breakthrough role as Olivia Dunham in the US hit series “Fringe” added substantially to her income.
Her success extended to her involvement in other projects like the successful series “The Pacific” and “Open”, as well as her portrayal of Virginia Grey in the film “Love Is Now” in 2014, all of which significantly augmented her fortune.
Besides her television and film work, Torv has also lent her voice to the character of Nariko in two “Heavenly Sword” video games.
Presently, the accomplished actress is occupied with two projects. She is set to star in the supernatural horror film “Stephanie” and assume the lead role of psychologist Wendy in the television drama series “Midhunter”, both scheduled for release in 2017.
In her personal life, Torv was married to actor Mark Valley in 2008, with whom she co-starred in “Fringe”; however, the couple divorced a year later.

| # | Quote |
|---|---|
| 1 | “I am always in a better mood playing the ‘alternate’ Olivia. When there’s less responsibility life’s kind of cool.” |
| 2 | “[on having to impersonate Leonard Nimoy on Fringe] I was not excited when that script came out. I was fearful. So what do you do? You call the people that are much better than you and say, “Help!” [Laughs] John [Noble] had worked with Leonard, plus I was so, so nervous, I wanted to make sure that, when I went to the set to do it for the first time, there was at least one person that I could look at who I had done it with before and trusted. It offered an element of comfort… I got an email saying, “I’ve been hearing good things about your impersonation of me.” I wrote back, “Oh gosh, I’m so sorry. Why they didn’t give it to Josh [Jackson] or John [Noble], I don’t know”. He was so darling, he wrote back, “It wouldn’t have been as charming”. |
| 3 | “[on who inspires her as an actor] I just adore Kate Winslet. I love her because you’re never aware of all the stuff that’s going into her characterization and, yet, she completely transforms. She also has this incandescent warmth to her, and that’s a quality that is hers. She’s approachable and damn believable.” |
| 4 | “That sex scene in The Pacific? You don’t get that on Fringe, do you? I don’t think anyone finds them easy. It’s not that I’m embarrassed about my boobs. It’s just that some part of you really doesn’t want that out there. At the same time, you want to get good at it. In the moment, what you’re really thinking is, Shit, I need a mint.” |
| 5 | “Sometimes there will be a line in the script and I just can’t imagine saying it. I’ll ask an American and they’ll say, “Oh, yeah. That’s how we say it.” We just say things differently in Australia – like torch. I’d ask, “Can I have the torch?” It seems to fall flat when I say, “Can I have the flashlight?” |
| 6 | “I didn’t know much about video games. There are some awfully violent ones. But Heavenly Sword is different. I’ve had huge conversations with a friend who made it. I think what he wants to do is to make the player care. Yes, there’s killing. But the character I play in ‘Heavenly Sword’, ‘Nariko’, is ultimately protecting her family and this runaway girl. It’s a beautiful game. It’s beyond a video game. The landscape is to protect and to care. My friend is working toward a world where you get an emotion out of the people who are playing it. See if you can make them cry if they couldn’t save the people who they were trying to protect. This isn’t Pac-Man.” |
| 7 | “It doesn’t necessarily matter what your answer is to the question: What is art? So long as you have one.” |
| 8 | “I don’t feel like I’ve hit my stride. So I wonder what the moment will be when I get to be who I want to be.” |
