Who is the actress behind the character Tess?
Theresa “Tess” Servopoulos is played by Anna Torv. Born in Melbourne, Australia in 1979, the 43-year-old landed the role of the hardened survivor and Joel’s lover Tess for HBO’s The Last of Us. Coming from an Australian, Scottish and Estonian background, Anna has seen her fair share of the spotlight first appearing as Ophelia with the Bell Shakespeare Company in John Bell’s production of Hamlet and then as Nikki Martel in The Secret Life of Us.
If you’re a fan of Netflix’s Mindhunter, you’ll remember Anna’s face as Wendy Carr who played an FBI consultant. If you were hoping to see Anna on Twitter or Instagram, unfortunately, she isn’t on either. In an interview with The Sydney Morning Herald, Anna talked about why keeping her private life intact was important.
“I don’t want it to seem like I’m judging people who do it, really I am not, because I get it and I understand it,” Anna states. “But I do think you can’t put what you’re eating for breakfast on the internet and then be upset when people are invading your space. If you just don’t do it, then you are given an element of respect and they don’t talk about it.”
The Last of Us will release a new episode every Sunday on HBO in America and for those in the UK, catch it on Monday via Sky Atlantic and NOW TV.
