LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - The CIA (news - web sites) keeps a lot of secrets, but its opinion of ABC's "Alias" is not one of them.
The spy show's star, Jennifer Garner (news), said she has been asked to contribute to an official video promoting the government agency.
"It's not a commercial," she said. "It's a recruitment video (to show) university graduate students."
Chase Brandon, film industry liaison for the CIA, confirmed that the project was in the works.
"We very much would like to continue our discussions with Miss Garner and possibly other cast members to work with us on a recruitment video," he said. "We feel that Miss Garner, both in character as agent Sydney Bristow and as herself, embodies the intelligence, enthusiasm and dedication that we're looking for. Our continuing efforts to enlist the best and the brightest would be admirably served by having her support."
Garner would provide an introduction to the video that the CIA shows to prospective agents. "It talks about the nature of the work, the context and the qualities we're looking for," Brandon said. "Her participation would add a human touch to the message we're trying to convey."
Producers on "Alias" worked with Brandon in the early stages of the show, and the writers still occasionally contact him to check facts and details. Beyond that, Brandon said, "Miss Garner has a standing invitation to come by the agency, where she is guaranteed to meet a vast number of fans."

the bureaucrats over at CIA really like this show because all the cool things that dont really exist but should are on the show, and because nobody ever really screws up like they do in real life. and best of all, it makes all the people think life in the cia is really like the show!
i doubt the tv actress has half the education/intelligence of the people to whom the video will be shown. kinda ironic.
they ought to run their recruitment more on the sly, just to be old school.

To: prarie earth
It is a great show. I go out of my way not to miss either Alias or 24.
I just couldn't resist commenting on the wigs.
To: AngryJawa
I couldnt find a pic of the other colorful wigs.
