Biography

Elle est née à Burlington, Ontario, Canada. À 18 ans, Torri a déménagé en Angleterre pour étudier auprès de Patsy Rodenburg ce qui la fit entrer tranquillement dans le monde de la comédie. Un an plus tard, elle est retournée à Londres pour étudier la comédie au Guildhall College of Music and Drama.

Elle est particulièrement connue pour ses rôles dans TekWar, Le Patient anglais et Stargate Atlantis. Elle joue également au théâtre dans des pièces telles que Three Tall Women ("Trois grandes femmes"), Weldon Rising et Picasso at the Lapin Agile.

Dans Stargate Atlantis, elle joue le rôle du Dr Elizabeth Weir, issue de Stargate SG-1. Elle est commandante de la base sur Atlantis depuis la Saison 1. Mais pour diverses raisons, l'actrice a vu son rôle se réduire à la fin de la Saison 3 où les producteurs lui ont annoncé que son personnage passait du statut de régulier à celui de récurrent pour la Saison 4. L'actrice n'a pas vraiment apprécié ce changement mais a quand même tourné les épisodes de la Saison 4 où apparaît son personnage. Mais Torri a refusé d'apparaître dans la Saison 5 à la suite de cette mise à l'écart obligeant les scénaristes à faire apparaître le personnage de FRAN à la place de celui d'Elisabeth Weir.

Torri Higginson est apparue récemment dans les films Save My Soul (court métrage) et Smile Of April, des productions Broken Artists Pictures.
