Garber began acting at the age of 10 in children's productions at the Grand Theatre in his hometown of London, Ontario, Canada. At 16 he moved to Toronto, where he joined the singing group The Sugar Shoppe which were featured on the Ed Sullivan and Johnny Carson shows. One of his first film roles was for director George Bloomfield in CBC's "Paradise Lost." Soon after, he landed the role of the hippie-Messiah in the Toronto production of "Godspell," a role he would later reprise in the musical film version.

Garber now makes his home in New York.

PERSONAL INFORMATION

Hometown: London, Ontario, Canada
Birthdate: March 16

WHO HE ISThe only other SD-6/CIA double agent (that we know of) and Sydney's father.

WHY HE AND SYDNEY WERE ESTRANGED He was a major absentee dad and Sydney (wrongly) blamed him for the death of her mother.

HOW HIS WIFE DIED In a car accident... make that an undetermined ''accident.'' She was a KGB assassin, so presumably she was murdered, although we don't know by whom.

WHEN HE BECAME A DOUBLE AGENT Long before Sydney got involved

CHARACTER FLAW When Sydney was close to being found out by SD-6, Jack saved his daughter by diverting attention away from her and setting up another (innocent) agent, who was subsequently killed.

POTENTIAL DANGER Not all those unbugged rooms at SD-6 where he speaks privately with Sydney can really be unbugged. Someone's gonna hear all that double-agent talk eventually.
