They are the men of ABC's Alias, and the brown-haired beauty is Jennifer Garner, aka Sydney Bristow. It's sometimes confusing keeping up with who's who on Alias, which airs at 8 p.m. on Sundays, so here's a look at the good guys who are on Sydney's "I-would-kill-anyone-who-hurt-you" list.

Michael Vartan, aka Michael Vaughn

Who: Michael is the CIA agent who handles Sydney's assignment for the good guys and is in love with her.

Saved: Sydney has saved his life several times. Most recently, she procured the antidote needed to keep him from bleeding to death internally.

Says: "[Garner] makes me smile every time I see her."

Did you know: Vartan played the sleazy, cheating husband in the movie One Hour Photo.

Victor Garber, aka Jack Bristow

Who: Jack is Sydney's dad and a double agent for the CIA and SD-6. After learning that her father lied to her for more than 20 years, she's just beginning to trust him.

Saved: Sydney has saved her father's life numerous times. A few weeks ago, when the SD-6 thugs who were trying to kill him were chasing him, she showed up just in time.

Says: "[Garner's] a strong, beautiful woman, and there's not a one of us who doesn't know how lucky we are to be working with her."

Did you know: Garber sang with the group the Sugar Shoppe on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and The Ed Sullivan Show.

Carl Lumbly, aka Marcus Dixon

Who: Marcus is Sydney's partner at SD-6; unfortunately, he had no clue until recently that he is working for the bad guys or that Sydney is a double agent.

Saved: Sydney saved Marcus' life, with a little help from her friends at the CIA. The event has come back to haunt her several times.

Says: "He's always thought Sydney was one of his best friends. I don't know what happens when he finds out the truth."

Did you know: Lumbly worked as a free-lance journalist for The Associated Press.

Bradley Cooper, aka Will Tippin

Who: Will is one of Sydney's best friends and was recently recruited into the CIA.

Saved: Sydney most recently saved his life when rogue spies kidnapped him.

Says: "Will was very much in love with Sydney, but I think he's finally past that. He's more like the very protective big brother now."

Did you know: He was in Wet Hot American Summer and says, "It was such a funny movie."

Kevin Weisman, aka Marshall Flinkman

Who: He's the guy who comes up with all the fancy gadgets for Sydney to use on her missions.

Saved: Sydney recently saved his life when bad guys who needed his brain captured him.

Says: "They finally let me out in the field and look what happened. I almost got killed my first time out. Thank God she [Sydney] never gives up."

Did you know: Weisman loves gadgets almost as much as Marshall and spends hours on the computer.
