‘She had actually been on Felicity and I knew her and my wife had said, “You’ve got to write something for her. She has got such a spark.” And I wrote Alias thinking about her, but I didn’t quite know,’ J.J. told Chris Rock at the 2016 Tribeca Film Festival.
‘Then I finished it and she came in and was amazing. I remember someone at the network was like, “You know, I don’t know, is she hot enough?”‘ So, anyway, all I will say is the executive is no longer there and now she is Jen Garner, so it worked out…
‘It was incredible doing the pilot, which I directed. I remember watching her kind of find this strength in herself. It was just so cool to see and she just did a spectacular job and she’s one of our dearest friends. She’s the greatest.’
The butt-kicking, wigged-out role earned Jennifer her only Golden Globe Award and the spy series aired for five seasons (2001-2006) and introduced the world to four-time Oscar nominee Bradley Cooper.
