Gina Torres Looks Back on "Alias"

Memories from the Set: Gina Torres on "Alias"


K-Directorate assassin Anna Espinosa "should have had her own show," Torres says. "She was the other side of the coin of Sydney Bristow. They're both ride or die, believe in their cause, doing their job, excellent at their job. They just happened to be pitted against each other."

Turns out, the character was originally written as a born-and-bred Russian, but a suggestion from Torres — as well as the fact that she can do a Russian accent — turned Anna into a Cuban-born Russian. "I'm proud that I had the courage to even bring it up, and I'm so proud that they ran with it," she says.
