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...".
 * Hey, It's That Guy!:
 * 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.
 * None of the actresses playing the Derevko sisters are Russian: Lena Olin (Irina) is Swedish, Isabella Rossellini (Katya) is Italian, and Sonia Braga (Elena) is Brazilian.
 * 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).
 * Jack Bristow was sorry he couldn't build a better ship for Kate Winslet, and was Clown Superman in suspenders.
