HANNIBAL Casts Gina Torres

HANNIBAL’s Laurence Fishburne (Jack) is going to have a familiar face playing his character’s on-screen wife — Fisburne’s real-life wife of a decade, Gina Torres!

NBC confirms Torres (who may be familiar to TV fans from her roles in SUITS, ALIAS, and FIREFLY) will appear on the show, but as of now, there’s no info on what her character’s name is or when she’ll first pop up. TVLine was first to report the casting.

In addition to Torres’ relationship with Fishburne, she’s also worked with HANNIBAL creator Bryan Fuller before in a second season episode of his former show, PUSHING DAISIES.
