'Alias' duo in the 'Kitchen'
Vartan reteams with Cooper on Fox's 'Confidential'
By Michael Schneider
"Alias" star Michael Vartan will reunite with former castmate Bradley Cooper on an upcoming episode of Fox's "Kitchen Confidential."
Vartan will guest as Michel, a womanizing French chef and rival to Jack Bourdain (Cooper). In the episode, Michel's French bistro sparks a feud with Jack's Nolita restaurant after Michel steals from the Nolita menu and seduces its head waitress, Mimi (Bonnie Somerville).
The episode, titled "F@#% the French," begins production Tuesday. Although critically acclaimed, "Kitchen Confidential" has had a rough start in the ratings. Show, which stars Cooper as a chef loosely based on real-life bad boy Anthony Bourdain, comes from 20th Century Fox TV and New Line TV.
Cooper starred as Will in the first two seasons of "Alias," while Vartan has played Agent Vaughn for the past four seasons on the show. Both characters had feelings for lead Sydney (Jennifer GarnerJennifer Garner) at one point or another.
Vartan's other credits include "Monster-in-Law," "One Hour Photo," "Never Been Kissed""Never Been Kissed" and "The Myth of Fingerprints." He also guested on "Friends""Friends" and "Ally McBeal" and starred in miniseries "The Mists of Avalon."
