'Camping' co-creator Lena Dunham reveals why she chose 'America's sweetheart' Jennifer Garner to play Kathryn

Although Lean Dunham considers 'Camping' to be 'infinitely castable', Garner probably was a proper fit for Kathryn since she is both a mother and a wife.

Probably in order to make Kathryn, the protagonist of 'Camping', a little more relatable, creators Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner had to resort to choosing a face which is not easy to hate. Hence, Jennifer Garner. Starring in HBO's latest comedy series which is based on Julia Davis' 2016 titular twin, Garner plays the role of an uptight obsessively compulsive, Kathryn, who plans for a weekend camping trip to Brown Bear Lakes to celebrate her husband, Walts' (David Tennant) 45th birthday. However, things go haywire when the group finds itself thrust in the lap of Nature with nothing else, but each other.
