I really enjoyed Alias when it originally aired 20 years ago. I saw that it was on Disney+ and started a rewatch about a month ago. I powered through the first 2.5 seasons pretty quickly and am enjoying the ride. I remembered Jennifer Garner's character, but I had completely forgotten about many of the other actors.

Was this show some kind of phenomenon at the time that actors were clamoring to be a part of it? I'm sure I'm forgetting some, but here some I've noticed in my rewatch.

Notable Major Characters:
Jennifer Garner
Bradley Cooper (totally forgot he was on this show. Was this the start of his career?)
Greg Gunberg (he's in basically every JJ Abrams thing every made)
Terry O'Quinn (went on to be a major character on Lost)

Well known actors who made special appearances for at least a few episodes:
Quentin Tarantino
Ethan Hawke
Christian Slater
Danny Trejo
Angela Bassett
Angus Macfadyen
Faye Dunaway
Peter Berg
Vivica Fox
Justin Theroux
Jonathan Banks
David Carradine
Ricky Gervais
Isabella Rossellini
Djimon Hounsou
Roger Moore
John Hannah
Jason Segel

Victor Garber!!!! Michael Vartan! Ron Rifkin (sp?)

The main cast was stellar.

I really liked the show back in the day.

For sure they were big stars in Alias. I just didn't list them because I don't remember them from anything else I've watched.

Was in HS when Alias started really ripping through the cable TV for me. Was my first real feeling of 'water-cooler' talk for me and some classmates of mine discussing the episode the next day. It's campy, sure - but dang it was fun

Alias was my favorite and I have rewatched it several times.
I can't remember the details but there was a game that every highlighted letter in the name of the place where they were was a puzzle to figure out at the end. And there were websites for Joeys pizza and credit dauphine.

I still have my SD-6 hat.

Loved Alias back in the day.

Just saw this - Garner is coming back with another show - looks like Garber is in it as well.

Feel like this show and Buffy the Vampire Slayer have a pretty huge 'alumni' list of actors.

Absolutely great show, tarnished by the last season when the network cut the number of episodes TWICE, causing a cluster conclusion.
