James Marsden interviewed about the show: > "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 says. "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?" > From the beginning, Marsden told show creators Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky (who also worked on The Office) that he didn't want to participate in a prank show. But they assured him that Jury Duty wouldn't be cruel or mean-spirited. Instead, Marsden says, the intention was to create a "hero's journey" for Gladden. https://www.npr.org/2023/05/02/1173271968/jury-duty-james-marsden-ronald-gladden https://www.npr.org/2023/05/02/1173271968/jury-duty-james-ma...
