More on Jennifer Ganer in Alias

Garner starred as Sydney Bristow in Alias while Carl Lumbly portrayed the role of Marcus Dixon. The series ran for over five seasons for over five years. Recently, the cast reunited to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the show's premiere. To celebrate the occasion, Garner shared a video featuring a comparison of the cast's old pictures to showing them at the party. In a lengthy caption, she thanked the team and cast of the series and expressed her happiness in reuniting with her old friends. She wrote,

''Twenty years ago this week, tonight in fact, #Alias aired for the first time on @abcnetwork. If you’re an idea born of @jjabramsofficial’s brain— you’re a big one; JJ’s ambitious imagination pushed every department on the crew of Alias through and past the norm, it was so much FUN. Since the end of the show, April of 2005, running into a cast or crew member from Alias has always led to this question—When will you get everyone back together for a reunion? The 20th anniversary seemed like as good an excuse as any, so the call went out—reunion party is happening, pass it on!''
