Amy Acker

Ms. Acker played Winifred Burkel, brainy and beuatiful mathmetician/science geek, on Angel for at least 3 seasons. For some inexplicable reason, in the last few episodes, "Fred's" body was taken over by a Demon-God named Illyria and suddenly the actress was whoppin' butt all over the place. Then the series ended...

She turned up again on Alias as Peyton, the latest female nemesis to Jennifer Garner's Sydney Bristow.

As the series winds down, Alias reappeared for a short, finale run starting last Wednesday night. Peyton, in power suit and heels and matching laser-sighted HK G36K, was hunting Syd and her parents through a bank building after hours. When the helicopter showed up to rescue Syd's little band, Peyton shot it out of the sky with a rocket launcher!

This gave us a beautiful image of the tailored and coiffed Peyton walking toward the camera cradling her assault rifle while the burning torch wreckage of the helicopter fell past the window behind her. Totally badass, Amy Acker! You keep kickin' Jennifer's butt every chance you get. That's what she gets for marrying that Ben Affleck dude.
