My Take
To me Torri Higginson will always be Dr. Elizabeth Weir, the leader who solved interstellar crises with diplomacy and intellect rather than firepower. That role suited her perfectly: a calm, intelligent presence that anchors a scene without shouting for attention. She never chased the awards circuit, but across TekWar, Dark Matter and steady Canadian work she built genuine credibility in genre television. I tend to value actors who earn trust quietly over those who burn bright and fade, and she's squarely in that camp. A grounded performer whose work only deepens with age, and one I quietly root for.
