This year marks 25 years since Alias first premiered. Jennifer Garner rose to fame playing double agent Sydney Bristow in the spy series created by J.J. Abrams, which ran for five seasons from 2001 to 2006. The ABC show was a learning experience that admittedly made the Golden Globe-winning actress "level up" in every way.
"Alias taught me so much. It was like acting boot camp," Garner tells Parade in an exclusive interview. "I learned how much I could handle in a scene. I learned I could handle props and fight and another language and all of these things and camera angles. All at the same time."

"And I just had to," she adds. "I had to level up in every possible way."

Garner's French from Alias proved useful for the second season of Apple TV's The Last This He Told Me. "Another language comes in really handy because I speak a lot of French this season, and I don't speak French, which anyone who does who watches this season will know very quickly," she points out. "But, I do know how to work really hard and learn my lines in another language and for that, I'm grateful."

22 years since 13 Going on 30
The new season of The Last This He Told Me reunited Garner with her former 13 Going on 30 co-star Judy Greer. It's been over 20 years since their beloved rom-com was released, a movie that Garner describes as "seminal" for the two of them.
"It was a big time in both of our lives, but it also just took on this life of its own, like we're now on like a third generation of people who love this movie and that's really fun. I don't think a day goes by that someone doesn't ask me about it," Greer tells Parade.

Garner adds, "But making it itself was so special, and something that really Judy, Mark [Ruffalo] and I, whenever we run into each other, we loved our director [Gary Winick] so much, and, yeah, a lot of special memories."

From dancing to "Thriller" to starring in a thriller series
The friends are "always" looking to work together, and have done so five times to date, Garner notes. They're now back together onscreen in Season 2 of The Last Thing He ToldMe, produced by 20th Television and Reese Witherspoon's Hello Sunshine.
"I just wanted to be in it from the second I read the first book because [Garner] told me she was doing it, Season 1. She was doing this mini series, it was based on a book," Greer recalls. "So I immediately read the book because I like to keep tabs on her and see what she's doing. And I loved it. And then I loved the first season, so I was really excited. It really didn't take much convincing, to be honest."
Originally billed as a limited series when it debuted in April 2023, The Last Thing He ToldMe was renewed two years before the release of Laura Dave's sequel novel, The First Time I Saw Him, which Season 2 is based on.

Another season meant another opportunity for Garner to reprise her role as Hannah Hall in the Apple TV series. It's the latest character Garner has been able to revisit. The Alias alum returned as Elektra in 2024's Deadpool & Wolverine.
As for whether there is another role she's itching to play again? "All of them, really," Garner answers. "I love characters I've played before. I would love to revisit any of them. I really hope I get to play Hannah again."
Musing about a potential third season of The Last Thing He ToldMe, Garner jokes, "Maybe I would beat this one [Greer] up," to which Greer responds, "I would totally be beaten up by Hannah at the end of that."
Season 2 of The Last Thing He ToldMe premiered Feb. 20 on Apple TV. One new episode will be released every Friday through April 10.
