Actress Jennifer Garner recently reflected on her emotional audition for The WB's Felicity, revealing the impact it had on her. Garner recalled a powerful audition scene that left her needing to cry in the bathroom afterward to release her emotions. Despite facing criticism during the audition process, Garner expressed her appreciation for constructive feedback from directors like J.J. Abrams and Matt Reeves.
Garner eventually secured the role of Hannah Bibb on Felicity, where she portrayed Noel's girlfriend. Her character's surprise visit caused tension between Noel and Felicity, played by Keri Russell. Interestingly, Garner and Scott Foley, who played Noel, began dating in real life after her guest appearance on the show.
Although her time on Felicity was brief, Garner's performance caught Abrams' attention, leading to her starring role as Sydney Bristow in Alias. The series, which aired from 2001 to 2006, showcased Garner as a young woman turned international spy.
Despite ongoing fan interest in an Alias reboot, Garner revealed that Abrams has not shown interest in revisiting the series. However, she maintains a close relationship with her former Alias castmates, including Bradley Cooper, Victor Garber, and Ron Rifkin.
Garner's openness to reprising her role in Alias, should the opportunity arise, highlights her fondness for the show and her enduring bond with the cast members.
