Abrams, in a conversation with Chris Rock at the Tribeca Film Festival, recalled favoring Garner for the Sydney Bristow role. “She came in and was amazing, and I remember someone at the network was like, ‘I don’t know, is she hot enough?’” Abrams said. “The executive’s no longer there.” PLUS: J.J. Abrams is "down" with doing a Chris Rock TV show.
