Jennifer Garner (born April 17 1972 in Houston, Texas) is an American film and television actress.
Although Garner was born in Texas, her father's engineering job with Union Carbide forced the family to relocate to Charleston, West Virginia when she was three years old. She lived in Charleston until college. Jennifer studied ballet for nine years before enrolling as a chemical engineering major at Denison University. After realizing that she loved the stage more than science she changed her major to drama.
In 2000 she married Scott Foley (who played her love interest on the television show Felicity, where she had a recurring role) but separated and subsequently filed for divorce in 2003. She currently stars as the character Sydney Bristow on the TV show Alias
. She then was rumored to be dating her Alias co-star
Michael Vartan. After that relationship ended in the summer of 2004, she was romantically linked with her Daredevil co-star
Ben Affleck. She enjoys cooking, gardening, hiking and kickboxing (a hobby inspired by her character on
Alias).
Garner is known for performing her own stunts, and in January 2005 she was forced to bow out of some publicity duties for her film Elektra
due to what was first thought to have been a viral infection. Media reports indicated that she was in fact suffering the effects of nerve damage to her back, caused by a stunt during the filming of Alias.
In addition to action movies Garner has also starred in the comedy 13 Going on 30 and the upcoming drama from Susannah Grant (writer of Erin Brockovich) named Catch and Release.
