Now, she's breaking down her whole career with Cosmopolitan, including some wild moments, like jumping off buildings with her stunt double 🏙 , and filming the Thriller dance with Mark Ruffalo 💃🕺 . Her new show, “The Last Thing He Told Me” is streaming now on Apple TV+, with new episodes every Friday.
Abrams (who produced Felicity) approached Garner about starring in a new show he was working on for ABC. Garner auditioned for and was cast in the role of Sydney Bristow in the spy drama Alias.
In a 2002 episode of the action thriller series Alias, titled "Rendezvous", Garner sang a version of the song "Since I Fell For You", to which she wrote her own lyrics.

How much did Jennifer Garner get paid for an Alias?
Jennifer Garner began her time on Alias earning $40,000 per episode, with an average of 22 episodes per season. This means she earned around $880,000 for the first season of the spy drama. By the fifth and final season, Garner was earning $150,000 per episode, which would net her $3.3 million per season.
Abrams' espionage thriller Alias ended its run after five seasons on ABC. The show started off as a hit for the network, but its viewership continually diminished over the years. Because of that, the show's cancellation didn't come as much of a surprise. The TV show followed the double life of CIA agent Sydney Bristow.
The pair had an on-screen romance in the early 2000s action thriller and science fiction series Alias. Garner starred as Sydney Bristow while Vartan portrayed Michael Vaughn. Their relationship carried over into the real world as they publicly dated briefly between 2003 and 2004.
Synopsis. As Season 5 begins, Vaughn is abducted. Sydney learns that Vaughn is under suspicion of being a double agent and that the crash may have been a cover for his extraction. Vaughn later escapes and explains to Sydney that his real name is André Michaux.
“I've been training for a while on this,” she tells People magazine. “I did (mixed martial arts) MMA skills, gun skills, knife skills. It was the connection to the physical that made me kind of understand her fight for her daughter.”
YES DAY's stunt coordinator Shauna Duggins has been Jennifer Garner's stunt double for 20 years, ever since the first season of ALIAS. (She also became the first female stunt coordinator to win an Emmy in 2018!)
Arnold Schwarzenegger. Partially because filmmakers could not find a stunt double that matched the actor's unique frame, Arnold Schwarzenegger has done many of his own stunts throughout his career. It's no surprise that he was always up for the task, given that he got his start in bodybuilding.
Will had little interest in doing Alias season 2 and recalled to GQ that he "begged" Abrams to write Will off - despite having been advised to stay and having no work lined up afterward. Cooper left Alias as a regular at the end of season 2, though his career took a little time to gain momentum.
In 2000, he enrolled in the Master of Fine Arts (MFA) program at the Actors Studio. Shortly after, he made his film debut in the comedy Wet Hot American Summer (2001) and gained some recognition as Will Tippin in the television series Alias (2001–2006).
Between December 2005 and April 2006, the series went on hiatus due to Jennifer Garner's real-life pregnancy, which was written into the season's storyline, as well as news of the show's cancellation.
Jennifer Garner has been married twice. Her first marriage was to her Felicity co-star Scott Foley and lasted from 2000 until 2004. Her second marriage was to her Pearl Harbor and Daredevil co-star Ben Affleck and lasted from 2005 until 2018, though the two separated in 2015.
Season 5. Isabelle was conceived shortly before Michael Vaughn's supposed "death" (Prophet 5). Despite her pregnancy, Sydney continued to work at APO, saying that she could not just sit at home and be pregnant whilst people who killed Vaughn and could threaten her baby were still out in the world (Solo).
Michael Vartan's character, Michael Vaughn, faced a unique exit on Alias in the show's fifth season. Vartan reportedly left the show not due to personal reasons, but rather to film another project in Australia. Vaughn's exit, along with other character changes, contributed to Alias ending after five seasons.
Turns out Jennifer Garner has made a ton of money throughout her career and has a reported net worth of $80 million (!) thanks to a combo of her work in movies and TV, lucrative endorsements, a successful brand, and some fancy real estate.
