• The 30-year-old actress couldn't be happier mucking around in murky conspiracies as FBI agent Olivia Dunham on Fox's new hit sci-fi thriller. Here are three reasons she loves her job.
HER NEW BOSS IS J.J. ABRAMS
"He creates great roles, particularly really strong, complex women. I loved Alias. It was addictive."
SHE AND COSTAR JOSHUA JACKSON ARE ALL GROWN UP
"When Dawson's Creek aired, I was in drama school. It would have been uncool if I'd watched it at that point, so I had no teenage crush on him. I think he was totally relieved."
HER ONLY DUTY IS TO THE SHOW
"The other week I spoke to a lady in the FBI. They have a massive sense of duty. They choose to save the world every day and still go home to their family. I chose to be an actor because it's the least responsible thing. I like to focus really intensely for short periods."
