William "Will" D. Tippin, played by Bradley Cooper, is one of Sydney Bristow's friends on the television series, Alias.
Bio
At the beginning of the series, Will was just Sydney Bristow's friend and a local newspaper reporter. Following the death of Sydney's fiancé, Danny Hecht, Will begins pursuing leads surrounding Danny's bizarre death. Sydney, knowing the truth - that Danny was killed because SD-6 found out that he knew that Sydney was a spy, asked Will to cease his investigation. However, Will pursued and found himself wrapped up in Sydney's world of espionage.
Will is eventually recruited as a private researcher for the CIA. Utilizing his expert research skills, Will researched the secret government project, Project Christmas for Jack Bristow. Project Christmas, Will learned, was designed as a counterpart to a Soviet project during the Cold War to discover the best recruits for spies among America's children.
Will briefly dated Francie Calfo (and then, unbeknownst to him, Francie's genetic doppleganger, Allison Doren) before he was nearly killed and then quickly shuttled into the Federal Witness Protection Program, removing him as a regular character for season three. However, he did have a brief reappearance after he was sought out by Sydney and the two had a brief tryst. During this reunion mission, Will finally encounters Allison and kills her for the murder of Francie, after which he returned to private life. Will is not seen for the rest of the season after this.
