That's why, when Alias came along, I knew I'd be OK if the show was on for five or six years because the writing was so good and the creative team was so strong.

If you were to come to the set of Alias, you'd know how silly we all are. And I mean, silly.

When I first read the script a few years ago I thought it was one of the best written scripts I had ever read.

I like the fact that Jack is always wearing a tie except when he's on a mission. I do like it when I get out there and dress up, or dress down, a little bit.

Each person shows something different, in every challenge that they come across.

The most sinister aspect of Jack is his detachment, his ability to distance himself from his feelings.

And when I go to see plays, I marvel at how people can do that. I've done it all my life, but I still find it mystical.
