“I kept a little secret from all of the people that I met on Alias before I got the job…and the secret was that I was quite possibly the world’s biggest Alias fan. I didn’t tell anyone that I had seen every episode in the history of the show…because I thought they would think I was some crazy, deranged fan, and then they wouldn’t hire me.”
