Alias Gadget Guy Gets Lucky
SPOILERS!
Kevin Weisman, who plays techno geek Marshall Flinkman on ABC's Alias, told SCI FI Wire that his character will have more personal storylines in the upcoming third season. "[Show creator J.J. Abrams] is always looking for ways to evolve, not only the show, but the characters," he said in an interview at the ABC Prime Time Preview Weekend at Disney's California Adventure theme park. "He always promised, 'You will be integral to the technical end of the show in terms of the missions and the gadgets and stuff, but once we've really had an opportunity to explore emotionally most of the characters on the show, we will get to you. And hopefully the show will still be on the air at that point.' And luckily it is."
At the end of last season, Marshall had taken an interest in fellow FBI Agent Carrie Bowman, played by guest star Amanda Foreman (best known for her role as Megan on Felicity, another Abrams creation). Weisman hints that their relationship has progressed in the two years since Jennifer Garner's Sydney Bristow went missing. "Finally, they're really starting to write some personal elements," he said. "There's a love interest, Amanda Foreman, who plays Carrie. She's coming back, and that relationship has sort of evolved." Alias returns Sep. 28 in its regular Sunday 9 p.m. ET/PT timeslot.
