Birth Place: Vancouver, BC, Canada Eye Color: Blue Height: 6' (1.83 m) Family: "His mother grew up in West Vancouver. He has two older brothers Rex and Arn. The first time I saw him perform he was about 11 in Cats, playing Rum Tum Tugger as a sort of Elvis impersonation. His sexy performance knocked everybody's socks off. He is a very pleasant guy, very social, not in the least conceited. He had the most ideal childhood of anyone I ever met. There is not a mean bone in his body. He is completely at ease with anyone of any age. He has 2 aunts and 2 uncles on his mother's side.. The entire extended family have always been supportive of his choice of acting, even though the rest of the family has no acting experience." - QUOTE from Torrance's Uncle Education: BFA in acting from the University of British Columbia Actor Bio: Torrance Coombs is a Canadian film, theatre and television actor.

As for historical accuracy, let's put it this way. A lot of the history is very ambiguous, and everyone has their idea of how events played out. There's technically no proof Culpepper and Katherine had an affair. However, by all accounts they spent hours and hours during the night together alone in her room. In my opinion, it's more than likely that something did happen between them. And for TV's sake, it's definitely way more interesting if something happens between them.
Where the history is ambiguous, it makes sense to go down the path of most drama for TV's sake. The show takes some liberties, but doesn't to as much steamrolling over facts as some might think." -from Torrance's Facebook April 21 at 5:08pm - answering this question : Most actors become well known for parts they don't really consider their best work. What would you consider your best work and why?
