30 Seconds To Mars Frontman, Jared Leto, Set To Return To Acting

Jared Leto is a sometimes actor who fronts the band 30 Seconds To Mars full-time. Of course people think he's an actor first and musician second, but from his mouth that's not the case. He took acting gigs to help fund the band. It just turns out that he's great at both. He hasn't been in a movie since 2009, but it seems he's going back in front of the camera! Keep reading for details on his next endeavor. 

The movie is called The Dallas Buyer's Club and will star Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Garner.

From THR:

Inspired by real events, the story centers on Ron Woodroof (McConaughey), a Texas electrician diagnosed with AIDS and given six months to live, who began smuggling alternative drugs into the U.S. to help himself and other AIDS patients. He added years to his life but rushed headfirst into a collision course with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which was bent on keeping the drugs out of the country.

In a potentially standout role, Leto would play a flamboyant cross-dresser with HIV who helps Woodroof.

 

The movie is filming in New Orleans and will be out next year.

Do you think Leto will fill this role well? Your thoughts?
