Meet Anna Torv

Television power player-turned movie power player – his Star Trek reboot launches next summer – J.J. Abrams did it for Keri Russell (Felicity), Jennifer Garner (Alias), and Evangeline Lilly (Lost): he turned them into stars.

Call it the J.J. touch. He likes an actress, we like an actress.

Next week, as Fringe premieres on Fox, we will learn if Abrams has done it again when we meet Aussie newcomer Anna Torv.

If she does as well on the job as she did on her first late-night talk show appearance, opposite the unpredictable David Letterman, no less, I say Torv soon will be a fan favorite.
