JENNIFER GARNER...EVERYTHING THAT'S FUN TO KNOW - PART 4
27 APRIL 2004

Teen Hollywood: Has anyone approached you for Broadway or musical film?

Jennifer: No, they haven't but that certainly is my end game. Eventually, if I can do anything, it would be to be on Broadway or to do a big movie musical. I can't think of anything I would love more.

Teen Hollywood: Is is harder to learn dancing or martial arts fighting?

Jennifer: They're actually very similar and I love doing both. It doesn't matter. I love being physical and acting at the same time.

Teen Hollywood: What were your favourite musical roles?

Jennifer: I love everything. I love being in the chorus. I was in the chorus of LITTLE ABNER in summer stock once and it was so fun, the dancing and finding the harmony, being part of a big group. I played GYPSY when I was younger and I loved, loved, lu-hu-hoved GYPSY. I think that's such a beautiful musical. I was Dream Laurey once in OKLAHOMA and that is such a beautiful ballet. I love CABARET. I did that in college and I love them all.

Teen Hollywood: On to TV. How long will you stay with ALIAS?

Jennifer: We are finishing the third season. We have two episodes yet. There are some big surprises coming up and we are picked up for a fourth season and then we'll see where it goes, but I'm along for the duration. I don't know how many actors get to have security that I have in having a solid job and get to go out and play. It's a pretty happy combination. I'll pretty much be around for as long as the show's on the air.

Teen Hollywood: How has Sydney changed?

Jennifer: I think she's lonely. Before she lived an isolated life but she had a flip life that was with friends and she was involved in what they were doing and they thought they were involved with what she was doing but obviously they weren't. And I think this year has been about her isolation.

Teen Hollywood: Are you doing the spin-off ELEKTRA film?

Jennifer: I am. I'm starting in May.

Teen Hollywood: Does it take place after DAREDEVIL?

Jennifer: It does. It's a sequel to her story in DAREDEVIL and I've been training for the past couple of months. I trained after the junket last night and got up this morning and will go again tonight and I'm loving it. I love that aspect of it. I don't know if it's because of dance or but we've added in pilates because I need to add the flexiibility. I'm just loving that. I'm working with my sai guy because the sais are my swords (sais are the cool "knives" Elektra spins when she's fighting). TO BE CONTINUED/BACK TO THE TOP
