Gina Torres is an American actress born in New York City, New York on April 25th, 1969. Initially, Gina began her career as a singer and developed her musical education at New York City's High School of Music and Art where she became a trained soprano. As she turned towards acting, Gina found herself in a variety of television programs, including several notable science fiction and fantasy projects.
In 2003, Gina Torres added herself to the ranks of "Big Bads" that have cropped up throughout the Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel television projects. She appeared in five episodes of Angel towards the end of season four, though the introduction of her character had been foreshadowed in previous episodes. Torres played a character named Jasmine, who was an elder deific being reborn in human form via Cordelia Chase and half-demon/all-douchebag son Angel, Connor. Jasmine was a powerful figure who commanded a cult of worshippers, including the main characters. Ultimately however, her character had a fist plowed through her head and that spelled the end of Torres' time on Angel.
