Jennifer Garner, who plays spy Sydney Bristow in the ABC series “Alias,” has turned her talents to recruiting real-life spies to work for the CIA in a video on the agency’s employment website.

“Although the show ‘Alias’ is fictional, the character Jennifer Garner plays embodies the integrity, patriotism and intelligence the CIA looks for in its officers,” the agency says on its website, www.cia.gov.

On the video, Garner says the CIA needs people with wide-ranging talents, diverse backgrounds, integrity, common sense, patriotism and courage who want to make a difference in the world. She was not paid for her work, a CIA spokesman said.
