J.J. Abrams Reveals ABC Originally Didn't Want Jennifer Garner for "Alias"
J.J. Abrams Reveals ABC Originally Didn't Want Jennifer Garner for "Alias"
by Kate Stanhope Oct. 27, 2017 J.J. Abrams, who appeared Thursday at a TV Game Changers panel presented by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, opened up about when ABC didn't want a then-unknown Jennifer Garner to star in his spy drama "Alias". "I'd worked with her on Felicity and when I wrote Alias, I wrote it with her in mind. Katie, my wife, was always like, 'We gotta do something with Jen so I wrote this part and knew I wanted her to be Sydney Bristow and the network didn’t want to cast her," he recalled. "They were like, 'We don't think she's hot enough.' And I was like, 'I'm just telling you she is.' And so they relented and we got to do it with her." The series, which ran five seasons, made Garner a household name and won her a Golden Globe in its first season. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/liv...-legal-1052384 |
