The series, which also starred Scott Speedman, Amy Jo Johnson, Tangi Miller, Scott Foley, Greg Grunberg [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Garner, however, insisted that needs a healthy amount of criticism and thrives off \u201ca ton of feedback\u201d from her collaborators. \u201cI love that about working with J.J. and with <strong>Matt [Reeves]<\/strong>,\u201d she said. \u201cThey are helpful and they are true directors.

Her surprise drop-in causes tension between Noel and Felicity, played by <strong>Keri Russell<\/strong>, as the pair had just kissed without\u00a0Noel clarifying that he was in a relationship with someone else. (After her guest role, Garner and Foley began dating in real life and wed in 2000.
