William "Will" D. Tippin is a fictional character, portrayed by Bradley Cooper. He is one of Sydney Bristow's friends on the ABC television series Alias.

At the beginning of the series, Will was just Sydney Bristow's friend and a local reporter with a Los Angeles newspaper. Following the death of Sydney's fiancé, Danny Hecht, Will began pursuing leads surrounding Danny's bizarre death. Sydney, knowing the truth (Danny was killed because SD-6 found out he knew Sydney was a spy) asked Will to cease his investigation to protect him from the same fate. However, after a short time, Will went on to investigate and soon found himself wrapped up in Sydney's world of espionage. After a certain time, Will had acquired enough facts to write an article about SD-6 and handed it to his editor to publish if he didn't contact her within the next 7 days. In that time, Tippin had planned to see the unknown voice in Paris in person, who had supported him in the last weeks with hints about SD-6 in general and Jack Bristow in particular. Having arrived there, he instead learns about the true identity of Sydney Bristow. Since he is now in danger because of his knowledge of SD-6, he is brought into a safehouse of the CIA in Los Angeles, only to be kidnapped out of that safehouse to Taipei by Julian Sark. Sydney, Jack and Vaughn had to get there to rescue him. In order to discredit Tippin's story—and at the same time, save him from being killed by SD-6—Jack arranged for him to appear as a drug addict in order to condemn his trustworthiness as a newspaper reporter.
