The Specialist

I’m sure she played a doctor as one of her aliases on TV’s Alias, but now Jennifer Garner is going to play a real-life doctor on the big screen.

The actress has signed on to play Dr. Eve Saks in Dallas Buyer’s Club, the story of real-life AIDS patient Ron Woodroof (Matthew McConaughey) who smuggled meds into the United States for himself and for others living with the disease.

I’m fairly certain that’s the part that Hilary Swank was once attached to....

Anyway, Garner joins a cast that also includes Gael García Bernal and is expected to into production in New Orleans this month.
