How about Jenna Fischer as Sydney Bristow?

by Bob Sassone, posted Oct 20th 2006 2:02PM

Jenna FischerCan I tell you how much of a crush I have on Jenna Fischer? That's another post for another time.

Entertainment Weekly has an interview with The Office star, where she talks about her struggling actor days (she always seemed to play waitresses and teachers and secretaries), her husband, director James Gunn (she's married? Damn it!), and what if feels like to watch Jim flirting with the woman at the other Dunder-Mifflin branch. But the most interesting part of the interview, and it's only quickly mentioned and not talked about further, is that Fischer revealing that she auditioned for the role of agent Sydney Bristow on Alias, but didn't get the gig because, even though she was good, she wasn't "hot" enough.

Well, Jennifer Garner was great in the role, but wouldn't it have been great to see Sydney make little cute faces toward the camera and play jokes on Sloane?

If you think she looks good on "The Office," you need to see the photo in EW.

Jenna Fischer is my #1 crush right now. She looked so amazing when she came on the Tonight Show a few weeks back (the only reason I watched that show).

All guys may openly say that they want a girlfriend like Angelina Jolie (for ex.), but I think that like me every guy's dream girlfriend is someone like Pam Beesly.

Are you people freaking kidding me?! Jenna is cute, but she's no Jennifer Garner. Hell, one of my first thoughts when I watched the NBC Office pilot was "Too bad the receptionist isn't as hot as the one in the British version."

And Mr. Sassone? "Well, Jennifer Garner was great in the role, but wouldn't it have been great to see Sydney make little cute faces toward the camera and play jokes on Sloane?"

Uh, no.

So clearly this site's readers aren't fans of Jennifer Garner...

Jenna is probably putting it tactfully:

"hot" = "manly"

I never watched "Alias", but I would watch Jenna Fischer in anything. She is extremely hot. I love her on THE OFFICE. Not to mention that shes a great actress, but(and I don't know if I mentioned this yet)SHE IS EXTREMELY HOT!!!

That's funny, since she's approximately 492 times hotter than Jennifer Garner.
