Career Success 

Confronted by hardship and inability to meet up with school financial needs, Torres was pushed out of school to begin a career as a performer quite early. Later on, she made her way to TV shows and in 1996, Torres featured in her first feature film known as Bed of Roses.

The star continued to receive small roles occasionally in the 1990s and by 2001, the Spanish-speaking actress and singer had already started bagging some great awards such as ALMA Awards for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Syndicated Drama Series for wonderfully portraying Helen in Cleopatra 2525. Afterwards, she played Jasmine in the film Angel and became a nominee for International Press Academy’s Golden Satelite Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a series.

Three years later, the Cuban-American actress won hearts with her roles in Soccer Moms, Matrix Revolutions, and Matrix Reloaded.

She got another chance to prove herself once again in the third season of  24 and her role as Julia Milliken in the series which was also well-placed made way for her to unleash her enviable talents as Zoe in the TV series Firefly. Though the show lasted only for a brief moment, fans got to enjoy her presence when she repeated the role of Zoe in the 2005 science fiction drama Serenity. Subsequently, Torres appeared in numerous projects that thrived such as I Think I Love My Husband, The Catch, The Castle, Suits, and host of others.

Torres has also been involved in other engagements such as voicing some episodes of the animated series Justice League Unlimited for the character of Vixen. She also voiced The Matrix Online as character Niobe formerly voiced by Jada Pinkett Smith.
