Now he's taking on another unique role in Dallas Buyers Club where he plays real-life Texas cowboy Ron Woodroof, whose life was overturned in 1985 when he was diagnosed as HIV-positive and given 30 days to live. Shunned by many of his old friends, Woodroof takes the fight against the virus into his own hands as he tries to track down alternative treatments from all over the world in a "buyers club" with other renegades and outcasts just him. Watch it!

Here's the first trailer for Jean-Marc Vallée's Dallas Buyers Club, in high def from Apple:

Dallas Buyers Club is directed by Jean-Marc Vallée (The Young Victoria) and written by Craig Borten and Melisa Wallack (Meet Bill).
