This month’s Actor is the beautiful Jennifer
Garner. Sadly her big budget Elektra ended up being a disappointment, premiering
in 5th place and dropping- this amazing actress won’t be held down.
The Alias star is garnering huge attention in the industry and her series has had the highest rank season of its history. Things will begin to look up for the once shy Felicity star.
