* Casting directors thought "The Office" cutie Jenna Fischer wasn't sexy enough to play Sydney Bristow on "Alias," so they handed the role to Jennifer Garner

Wow, that's an interesting bit of trivia.

Jenna is way hotter than Jennifer, just to clarify.

I happen to agree with you there. :lol:

Well, it's a different kind of hotness. Fischer is definitely not the secret agent action show type of hot that Garner (supposedly) is.

I'm not saying Jenna isn't hot, but she looks more like a regular college student girl than Jen ever did.
I think Jenna would have been able to blend in a little better on those undercover assignments. I never watched Alias that much but the few eps i saw, Jen Garner was always dressed in some outlandish stripper like outfit on her "assigments."

Thigh high boots and and a pink wig. Great way to look inconspicuous.

Why no love for Jennifer Garner? I think she's SECKZIE and the Director's made a excellent choice.:cool:
