Alias (TV series)/Trivia

• The Danza: Michael Vaughn (played by Michael Vartan) and Rachel Gibson (Rachel Nichols).
• Directed by Cast Member: Jennifer Garner called the shots on "In Dreams...".

  • Amy Acker will forever be known as Winifred Burkle. Or, depending on your flavor of Whedon, Dr. Saunders.
  • You did see who played Cole, right?
• Fake Nationality: A lot of it.
  • Fake Russian: Sark is a Russian man with a fake British accent portrayed by American actor David Anders.
    • Actually, Sark's father was Russian but he grew up in Britain, so his character's accent is legitimate. Makes him more of a Fake Brit.

  • Gina Torres, who plays half-Russian, half-Spanish Anna Espinosa, is neither Russian nor Spanish.
• Hey, It's That Guy!: More like "Hey It's That Bunch of Guys": Weiss became Matt Parkman and was in Baseketball! Also, Sark became Adam Munroe, Josef Bazhaev, and Uncle John Gilbert!
  • One of the biggest has been Bradley Cooper, who played Will Tippin and is now a bonafide "movie star" (Wedding Crashers, The Hangover, and the remake of The a Team).
