Martial arts and sex appeal are my two new favorite qualities in a woman, and beautiful newcomer Jennifer Garner has both. Jennifer, who’s shown she has what it takes every week as the CIA agent Sydney Bristow on the ABC drama “Alias,” is a blossoming actress in Hollywood that has the acting skills and the good looks needed to make it in the business.
Jennifer’s love for acting drove her to enroll as a theater student at Denison University in Ohio and, following graduation, left for New York to test her skills in the Broadway ring. After proving she had the right stuff, Jennifer quickly left for LA and appeared in guest spots on “Spin City,” “Law and Order,” and was the unfortunate victim of two failed TV dramas between 1998-2000.
After an extended guest star role on the J.J. Abram’s WB drama “Felicity,” where she met former husband Scott Foley, Jennifer was able to impress the creator so much that he chose her for his newest show, “Alias.” Three years later, Jennifer is an accomplished television actress with a budding film career and a 2001 Golden Globe for Best Actress. With the charm and modesty of a 1950s movie star, we’ll be sure to see Jennifer only get bigger and better in the future.

Iconic Character – Sydney Bristow on “Alias”
Jennifer is having a fantastic career as she shows off her many talents and continues to look beautiful. But for many fans, her role as Sydney on “Alias” will always be a favorite. We highlihgted this character in our “TV Girlfriends” feature in the “Fox Force Five” catagory. Here’s what we said about the character:
“She has a walk-in closet full of costumes, ranging from no-nonsense business type to dominatrix, with wigs to match (hello, role play!). She can beat the snot out of men twice her size. Her job takes her all over the world, and she can speak any language you can throw at her. Oh, and she’s drop-dead gorgeous. Sydney Bristow is about as perfect as they come, but there is one teensy weensy problem: she can’t tell you how awesome she is, because her job as a top-secret government spy forbids her from doing so. This means she’ll never seduce you in a fluffy teddy while cooing “I am for sleeping now” in a Swedish accent, nor will she defend your honor when the local bully kicks sand in your face at the beach. In fact, the most likely thing you’ll get from dating Sydney is trouble; her fiancé was killed when she dared to reveal her double life to him, and her best friend Will received a back alley tooth extraction just for knowing her. So yes, life as Sydney Bristow’s boyfriend does not come without a fair share of risk – not to mention time apart, since she is more devoted to her work than half of our Married to the Job girlfriends – but to die by her side, well, the pleasure and the privilege is ours.”
