Cooper, 34, says he's enjoyed working with his co-stars Jessica Biel, Quinton Jackson, Sharlto Copley and Liam Neeson.

"He's the sweetest guy in the world and he makes you feel at ease right away," Cooper says of Neeson. "I admire him so much."

He also says he would love to work with "Alias" co-star Jennifer Garner again and would "jump" at the opportunity to film a movie based on the ABC series.
