Jennifer Garner celebrates 25 years of Alias
For the anniversary of her series, the actress brought out the archives and shared a video full of nostalgia, between cult extracts and reunions with Michael Vartan, Victor Garber, Ron Rifkin and Merrin Dungey.
Sydney Bristow, a name that still resonates in the memory of television…
On September 30, 2001, Alias debuted on the American channel ABC. Twenty-five years later, Jennifer Garner celebrated the series’ anniversary with a long video posted on social networks, mixing clips from the series and photos taken over the years with her former playmates.
The actress, who played Sydney Bristow, talks about how she is “so proud” to have participated in this adventure. She also talks about the pleasure of starring in an action series and the bonds that still unite the former cast members today: “All these years later, we are still together.”
And the video shows this little Alias family, 20 years after the end of the series. Jennifer Garner notably poses with Michael Vartan, who played Michael Vaughn and was incidentally her boyfriend in the city. The actor now displays an imposing graying beard. We also find Victor Garber, his fictional father Jack Bristow, Ron Rifkin, aka the terrible Sloane, and Merrin Dungey, who played Francie, Sydney’s best friend.
A reunion that allows us to measure the time passed since the beginning of the series.
At the time, Jennifer Garner was almost 30 years old and had still only appeared in supporting roles, in the cinema in Eh man! Where is my cash register? (1999) and Pearl Harbor (2001), as well as in the small series Sarah, opposite Jennifer Love Hewitt (1999-2000). The role of Sydney Bristow would change his life.
Created by a certain JJ Abrams, the Alias phenomenon established itself in its first season with its mixture of spy thriller and cascading twists. Sydney, an ordinary student, was recruited by SD-6, which she thought was a government agency. She eventually discovered that it was a criminal organization and became a double agent for the CIA.
The series has marked the history of the small screen and welcomed over the years a host of prestigious guests, from Quentin Tarantino to Danny Trejo, including Roger Moore.
Alias finally ended after six seasons and around a hundred episodes, in May 2006.
