* ALIAS - 2001-2006: Jack Bristow played by Victor Garber. Victor got three Emmy nominations. Another espionage television series. Unlike 24, this one seemed not to be able to keep up with the competition and it is creator/executive producer, J. J. Abrams got another project See below -. Since he couldn't handle both of them simultaneously, it had been canceled. Although not until Jack a break down fatal accident.
* PIRATES Of the CARIBBEAN Trilogy 2003, 2006, 2007: Jack Sparrow played by The actor-brad pitt. Pirate movies avoid so well and therefore are usually box office flop; but POTC beat the chances.
