Speaking to Australian newspaper The Sunday Telegraph, the actress recalled an emotional visit to see the programme's showrunner J.J. Abrams: "I just cried and cried and cried and said, 'Could I just come in late one day or could I go home early one day? I don't even need a whole day off, but I think I'm going to crack'.
"Alias made every decision for me," she continued. "I didn't even have a lunch break during the first two years. Every lunchtime somebody would be there to teach me a language or teach me to fight."
Garner, currently starring in the US box office smash Juno, added: "One of the great things about Alias being over is that now I can do things just because I want to."
