Jennifer Garner, the star of ABC's hit drama series Alias, will be appearing in a promotional video for America's CIA.

The Hollywood Reporter quoted the organisation's film industry liason, Chase Brandon, as saying: "We very much would like to continue our discussions with Miss Garner and possibly other cast members to work with us on a recruitment video. We feel that Miss Garner, both in character as agent Sydney Bristow and as herself, embodies the intelligence, enthusiasm and dedication that we're looking for. Our continuing efforts to enlist the best and the brightest would be admirably served by having her support."

The promo would be shown to university graduate students who may be considering a career with the agency.
