Gugu Mbatha-Raw

Actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw. You may recognize her as Mrs. Agent Bloom from J.J. Abrams' Undercovers. I may be jumping the gun, but I think that Mbutha-Raw and on-screen husband Boris Kodjoe may be the sexiest Abrams couple to date (sorry Jaters and Skaters). Mbatha-Raw is new enough to the scene that it's hard to find good pictures of her on Google search, but I imagine it won't stay that way for long.

The J.J. Abrams Women

The upcoming J.J. Abrams television program Undercovers offers a strong likelihood to thrust formerly under-the-radar actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw into the limelight.

Mbatha-Raw, however, is just one in a long line of unknown actresses who gained a significant career boost by becoming a lead actress in an Abrams television program. Surely, you remember Keri Russell, who became renowned as TV's Felicity.

There's also the star of the hit spy drama ALIAS Jennifer Garner. I prefer when she doesn't pull her hair back.

Let's not forget LOST's Evangeline Lilly, who is arguably the best actress among these ladies. I say arguably because Keri Russell has really been showing her A game in the last several years.

Finally, Fringe's Anna Torv.
