James Marsden revealed his reservations about his latest show,Jury Duty
Just last year, it was announced that James Marsden would be starring in a reality television hoax series,Jury Duty. The actor was set to be playing a satirical, egotistical version of himself as a juror. In an interview withNPR, the actor opened up about the reservations he had about the show and his role.
I had many reservations, and the biggest one was the wild card of this one human being who’s being dropped into this situation that is all fake and manufactured.
Marsden continued,“Is this even something that is ethically right to do, to play with someone’s human experience over the course of three weeks of their life?”However, luckily for the show’s creators, Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, he wound up changing his mind after a few conversations with them.

Marsden admitted that the creators had told him,“We’re surrounding him with is this cast of bizarre, eccentric weirdos and hopefully carving out a path for him to become the leader at the end, and have his 12 Angry Men moment, where he inspires us all and unites us and then we pull the curtain back and celebrate him as a human being.”Thankfully, that ended up selling him on the series.
