He may have once told EW that “nobody wants to see me make out on screen with Jennifer Aniston,” but Jeff Garlin is doing the next best thing: costarring in her next film. The Curb Your Enthusiasm star just signed on to play a gruff bail bondsman helping to track down Aniston’s character in the upcoming comedy Bounty Hunter, now shooting in New York City.
Garlin tells EW that he jumped at the role mainly because of the guy playing his fellow bounty-hunter best friend (and Aniston’s ex): “It’s with Gerard Butler — need I say more? He’s the coolest, he’s the best. And they paid me what I wanted.”
Garlin is cramming the project into an already-busy season. His comedy special, Young and Handsome, debuts on DVD July 7 and airs on Comedy Central in the fall, while Curb Your Enthusiasm returns to HBO for another guest-star-tastic season this fall.

I do NOT want to see another pitiful Jennifer Aniston needs a man movie….enough alreadly….we’ve played this ridiculous role way too many times and aren’t there more intelligent plots and awesome actors than these two???
BORING!!!! I will not spend any of my money on another boring movie with boring actors who make way too much money anyway and who cares????
Love Aniston. She is talented and hot: http://www.actressscene.com/search/label/Jennifer%20Aniston
Wow are you people cynical! Personally, I’d pay to watch/listen to Gerard Butler read the phone book and I don’t give a rat’s arse about J.A’s love life, but this sounds FUNNY! Fine, if I’m alone in the theater I won’t have to listen to you explain the plot to your brain-dead companion,rustle the plastic as you fight to get your box of Goobers open, or chew your popcorn with your mouth open.
Gerard Butler may be a decent actor and good-looking as well, but he is far from ‘the coolest’. He has shown himself to be an arrogant tool many times over the past few years.
The movie sounds pretty interesting.. I like the cast so far as well. Gerard Butler, Jennifer Aniston, Jeff Garlin. Nice.
Sounds like a solid comedy cast, can’t wait.
Gerry is a superb actor let no-one doubt that. He is not only a consumate actor but he is a sweet and generous man. I have met him and he loves all of his fans and takes no-end of trouble to please them. Not many of those around. Joan (HUG).
When is Jennifer Aniston going to retire and give us all a break from her tediuos love life??? After so many years of watching a really no-talent actress don’t waste my time on another (p.s. she is not funny)!
Gerry is so sweet and friendly. No air of a Hollywood actor at all. I don’t think he is arrogant, not to his fans anyway. How would you react if you are stopped on the street and pested with stupid questions and comments constantly. Can’t wait to see The Ugly Truth and later Gamer.
Love Jennifer! She is a great comedic actress! Can’t wait to see this movie! Gerard is easy to look at.
Can’t wait! Jenn is my favorite actress.
rib kinda like salt angelina has played FORVER!
