Alias actress Jennifer Garner, who stars as a CIA agent in the show, is now fronting a recruitment drive for the US spy agency.
She agreed to appear in a video for the CIA's website urging potential candidates to sign up.
The website states that Garner's Alias character "embodies the integrity, patriotism and intelligence the CIA looks for in its officers".
Garner, 31, was not paid for her appearance in the advert.
A CIA spokesman said: "She did this out of patriotism."
One the website Garner says the agency needs staff from a diverse range of backgrounds and with different talents.
"Right now, the CIA has important, exciting jobs for US citizens, especially those with foreign language skills. Today, the collection of foreign intelligence has never been more vital for national security," Garner says.
Agencies such as the CIA have been criticised since the 11 September attacks on America for not having enough staff who could speak Asian or Middle Eastern languages, which may have helped thwart attacks.
As well as her role on Alias, Garner appeared as one of the hosts of last month's Oscars awards ceremony.
She also appeared in the movie version of the comic strip Daredevil, alongside Ben Affleck.

Well, I just put my resume in, but not because of Ms. Garner's influence.

No. Compared to Ms. Garner, Ms. Coulter is a horse-faced reminder of the women of the Soviet Union.
Ducking for cover now.

"She did this out of patriotism."Wow.
How often do you hear of a celebrity giving away some time out of patriotic motives?
I'm impressed.

Since you prefaced it with "compard to Ms. Garner" I think you're okay. She'd make a bishop kick out a stained glass window for a better look.
