alias updates

fall is more than two months away and i am dying (exaggeration, of course!) in anticipation as i wait for my favorite shows to come back on my tv screen.

for alias, from the wires --

French actress Elodie Bouchez is the latest addition to the cast of the hit ABC spy drama "Alias."

Bouchez will portray an internationally wanted criminal who, unbeknownst to Sydney Bristow (Jennifer Garner), has been secretly working with fellow CIA agent Michael Vaughn (Michael Vartan) for several years.

Bouchez won Cesar awards, France's equivalent of the Oscars, for her roles in "Wild Reeds" and "The Dream Life of Angels," and also won the best actress award at the 1998 Cannes Film Festival for the latter.

ABC is adding several cast members to "Alias" to give Garner's character "some new dynamics and some relationships to play off of," ABC Entertainment president Stephen McPherson said last week.

ABC also announced the addition of Rachel Nichols to the cast as a technical analyst who works for a black ops division of the CIA and is mentored by Garner's character.

"Alias" is moving to 8 p.m. Thursdays this fall. Its season premiere is scheduled for Sept. 29.
