Gina Torres stars in the freshman series “Suits” as Jessica Pearson, the managing partner at a powerful Manhattan law firm.  It’s a plum part for Torres, whose banter with co-stars Gabriel Macht and Rick Hoffman are among the show’s many highlights.

“Jessica Pearson is the most powerful woman in the universe,” jokes Torres.  “She’s fiercely loyal.  She is competitive. She is strong, she is in charge.  And a fully realized, funny, professional, woman.”

Click on the media bar and listen to Torres and co-star Sarah Rafferty explain what makes “Suits” (which has been renewed for a second season) a successful series.

“Suits” airs tonight on USA (10 pm et/pt).
